Abstract:
Bicuspid aortic valve(BAV) is one of the most common congenital cardiovascular malformations,affecting 1% to 2% of the population.BAV may be sporadic or familial.BAV is likely a multiple genetic disorder based on the study of heritability and identification of pathogenic genes and potential candidate genes.With increasing studies of related genes of BAV,early intervention and gene therapy of BAV and associated complications may be likely in the near future.
