A total of 134 aortic tissue samples were retrieved from patients suspected of HTAD. The inclusion criteria were (1) family history, (2) age\u2009\u2264\u200945, (3) annuloaortic ectasia, (4) bicuspid aortic valve, (5) patent ductus arteriosus, (6) polycystic kidney disease, or (7) patients previously classified as variant of uncertain significance by germline sequencing (n\u2009=\u200917). Exclusion criteria included patients previously classified as likely pathogenic or pathogenic by germline sequencing.
