Article Synopsis
- Childhood-onset thoracic aortic dilatation (TAD) is primarily a genetic condition with dominant inheritance, and this study investigates its correlation with consanguinity in a specific population.
- Among the 33 children studied, a significant 65% had positive genetic tests, revealing mutations in multiple genes, including a notable homozygous variant in the EFEMP2 gene.
- The findings emphasize the importance of genetic screening for early detection and intervention, which can lead to positive outcomes, as all patients in the study are currently alive despite the severe nature of their condition.
Background: Regular exercise reduces risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) contributes to atherosclerosis formation, which is associated with an increased risk of CVD. The relationship between exercise therapy and lipid levels has been widely studied, but it is established that high-intensity exercise improves lipid profile.
