Discovery of myosin light chain kinase gene variant in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot suffering aortic dissection: Implications for pathogenesis and the role of family and population screening

Discovery of myosin light chain kinase gene variant in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot suffering aortic dissection: Implications for pathogenesis and the role of family and population screening

Background: Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is an uncommon complication in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Information concerning risk factors for TAD in patients with TOF is very limited. Methods: We report a case of Stanford type A TAD in a female patient with previously repaired TOF. Wh...
