Among dissection cases, we compared those with pathogenic variants to those without and found that pathogenic variant carriers had significantly earlier onset of dissection (41 versus 57 years), higher rates of root aneurysm (54% versus 30%), less hypertension (15% versus 57%), lower rates of smoking (19% versus 45%), and greater incidence of aortic disease in family members. Multivariable logistic regression showed that pathogenic variant carrier status was significantly associated with age &lt;50 (odds ratio [OR], 5.5; 95% CI, 1.6\u201319.7), no history of hypertension (OR, 5.6; 95% CI, 1.4\u201322.3), and family history of aortic disease (mother: OR, 5.7; 95% CI, 1.4\u201322.3, siblings: OR, 5.1; 95% CI, 1.1\u201323.9, children: OR, 6.0; 95% CI,
