10 Μαρ 2015 · To characterize the first aortic event in individuals with ACTA2 mutations, we analyzed 70 available clinical records for presenting symptoms, medical histories before event, aortic disease, surgical approaches, and outcomes (summarized in Table II in the Data Supplement). This subgroup consisted of 10 elective ascending aortic aneurysm repairs ...

Many mutations in the ACTA2 gene have been found to date in patients with familial thoracic aortic aneurysms (dilatations and tears of the largest vessel in the body). Only few of them, and primarily those that change the amino acid Arginine 179 (Arg179) are associated with a more extensive form of the disease that affects the whole body.
More than 30 ACTA2 gene mutations have been identified in people with familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (familial TAAD). This disorder involves problems with the aorta, which is the large blood vessel that distributes blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
The three hallmark signs of MSMDS include Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) or Aortopulmonary (APW), Congenital Mydriasis, and White Matter Changes. When two of these three signs are present, genetic testing should be performed. In addition, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), chronic lung disease, vascular disease and aortic dissection, white ...
21 Νοε 2019 · The ACTA2 gene encodes for smooth muscle specific α-actin, a critical component of the contractile apparatus of the vascular smooth muscle cell. Pathogenic variants in the ACTA2 gene are the most frequently encountered genetic cause of non-syndromic hereditary thoracic aortic disease (HTAD).
29 Μαΐ 2024 · Explore the implications of ACTA2 gene mutations in vascular diseases, including thoracic aortic aneurysms, moyamoya disease, and patent ductus arteriosus. Learn about clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies for affected individuals.
4 Δεκ 2017 · We present a young woman whose ACTA2 mutation was ascertained during pregnancy because of her father’s history of dissecting aneurysms. She was delivered at full term by cesarean section and subsequently had severe uterine hemorrhage due to uterine atony.
