The present study shows that the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the genes CDKN2BAS rs10757278, LPA rs3798220, SORT1 rs599839, DAB2IP rs7025486, and IL6R rs2228145 are associated with the development of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in a study population. This evidence concerns the gene SORT1 and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
