Other indicators of AAA severity, such as ultrasound imaging data (Figure 4B), the maximal abdominal aortic diameter (Figure 4C), the incidence of AAA formation (Figure 4D) and the rupture rate of AAA (Figure 4E) were all more pronounced in GAS5 overexpression construct-transfected mice than in SCR control-transfected mice (p < 0.05). This evidence concerns the gene GAS5 and triple-A syndrome.
