MYH11 is the proposed candidate gene at this interval as defects in this gene underlie aortic aneurysm familial thoracic type 4 (AAT4) [MIM: 132900] and also contribute to familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) and patent arterial duct (PDA). Here, MYH11 is linked to aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 4.
