Summary

Aortic dilatation syndromes are comprised by a group of different syndromes, of which Marfan syndrome is the best described. Many of the aorta dilatation associated syndromes are heritable connective tissue disorders but some patients do not have any other phenotypical symptoms than aorta dilatation. The genetic variation in thoracic aorta dilatation is still unknown. This study aims on genetic evaluation of patients with thoracic aorta dilatation. Furthermore the study will focus on a registry angel trying to evaluate prevalence, mortality, morbidity and socioeconomically status of Marfan syndrome patients. This part will rely on registry data obtained from unique Danish registries.
