Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Thoracic aortic aneurysm is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| ACTA2actin alpha 2, smooth muscle | Always | In 2 conditions |
| MYH11myosin heavy chain 11 | Always | In 2 conditions |
| SMAD2SMAD family member 2 | Often (30–79%) | In 2 conditions |
| SMAD3SMAD family member 3 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| AEBP1AE binding protein 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| ATP6V1E1ATPase H+ transporting V1 subunit E1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| B3GALT6beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 6 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| LOXlysyl oxidase | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| MFAP5microfibril associated protein 5 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
