The ratios of levels of LRG1 and fibronectin in postsurgical sera compared with those in presurgical sera (1.0) in the AAA and TAA patients were determined by band intensity, and they were 1.62-fold (Figure 2C) and 0.69-fold (Figure 2F), respectively, in sera of AAA patients and 1.37-fold (Figure 2D) and 0.63-fold (Figure 2G), respectively, in sera of TAA patients. The gene discussed is FN1; the disease is triple-A syndrome.
