GenTac: National Registry of Genetically Triggered Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Cardiovascular Conditions

Scientists are learning more every day about how genes play a role in our health. Our genetic make-up, or DNA, can influence whether we have a higher or lower risk of certain conditions, such as heart and cardiovascular disease.

A group of patients with certain genetic conditions is currently being recruited to establish the GenTAC Registry. The information collected through the registry will help doctors and researchers better understand the link between genes and aortic aneurysms and heart disease. GenTAC will also enable research to determine the best ways to manage the complications of cardiovascular disease that can arise from some genetic disorders. Better understanding and more research will lead to better treatment.
