TGFBR1 and aortic aneurysm: Furthermore, the overlap of our transcriptomic data with the genes associated with aortic aneurysm (Brownstein et al., 2017; Kim and Stansfield, 2017), and the similarities between the endothelial ruptures in alk5 mutants and those in human aortic dissection suggest that the zebrafish could serve as a valuable model for aneurysm research.
