Genetically triggered thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) account for 30% of all TAAs and can result in early morbidity and mortality in affected individuals. Epigenetic factors are now recognised to influence the phenotype of many genetically triggered conditions and have become an area of interest because of the potential for therapeutic manipulation. Major epigenetic modulators include DNA methylation, histone modification and non-coding RNA. This review examines epigenetic modulators that have been significantly associated with genetically triggered TAAs and their potential utility for translation to clinical practice.
基因引发的胸主动脉瘤(TAA)占所有TAA的30%,可导致受影响个体出现早期发病和死亡。现在人们认识到表观遗传因素会影响许多基因引发疾病的表型,并且由于其在治疗操作方面的潜力而成为一个研究热点。主要的表观遗传调节因子包括DNA甲基化、组蛋白修饰和非编码RNA。本综述探讨了与基因引发的TAA显著相关的表观遗传调节因子及其转化为临床实践的潜在用途。
