ACTA2 Genomic Sequencing for Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Aortic Dissections (TAAD)

For the sequence analysis of the ACTA2 gene, the 9 coding exons and flanking intron sequences of ACTA2 are amplified by PCR using 9 primer pairs.  The coding and flanking regions of the ACTA2 gene are sequenced by automated sequencing in 9 reactions.
