Tag treatable tag was added to gene: MYH11.
Genomic screening in children: BabyScreen+ v0.46 MYH11 Zornitza Stark Marked gene: MYH11 as ready
Genomic screening in children: BabyScreen+ v0.46 MYH11 Zornitza Stark Gene: myh11 has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Genomic screening in children: BabyScreen+ v0.46 MYH11 Zornitza Stark Classified gene: MYH11 as Green List (high evidence)
Genomic screening in children: BabyScreen+ v0.46 MYH11 Zornitza Stark Gene: myh11 has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Genomic screening in children: BabyScreen+ v0.45 MYH11 Zornitza Stark gene: MYH11 was added
gene: MYH11 was added to Genomic screening in children: BabyScreen+. Sources: Expert list
Mode of inheritance for gene: MYH11 was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Phenotypes for gene: MYH11 were set to Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 4, MIM#160745
Review for gene: MYH11 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Assessed as 'strong actionability' in paediatric patients by ClinGen.

FTAAD is a rare genetic vascular disease characterized by the familial occurrence of thoracic aortic aneurysm, dissection, or dilatation affecting one or more aortic segments (aortic root, ascending aorta, arch, or descending aorta).

Variable age of clinical presentation.

Prophylactic surgical repair of the aorta is recommended at 4.5-5.0 cm for patients with pathogenic variants in MYH11, SMAD3, and ACTA2 and at 4.0-4.5 cm for patients with pathogenic variants in TGFBR1 or TGFBR2.

Beta adrenergic-blocking agents are recommended to reduce aortic dilation. Losartan was added as an alternative to beta adrenergic-blocking agents in FTAAD after studies showed its efficacy in children and young adults with MFS who were randomly assigned to losartan or atenolol.

Penetrance: A study of 12 individuals with MYH11 pathogenic variants indicated that 34% had an aortic dissection and one individual (8%) underwent prophylactic aortic aneurysm repair.

Penetrance: A study of 15 individuals with LOX pathogenic variants indicated that 73% had aortic aneurysms and 1 individual (7%) had an aortic dissection.
