Background: Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is a rare congenital heart disease affecting approximately 1 in 25,000 live births. In some patients it is accompanied by pulmonary artery stenosis, particularly of pulmonary artery branches.

Expert consensus recommendations on the cardiogenetic care for patients with thoracic aortic disease and their first-degree [PDF]
Background: Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a potentially life-threatening disorder with a strong genetic component. The number of genes implicated in TAA has increased exponentially over the last decade.

Echocardiographic Detection of Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis [PDF]
The echocardiographic features of supravalvular aortic stenosis of the segmental or hourglass variety is described for the first time. Utilizing a strip recorder and an M mode or sector scan the diameter of the aortic lumen is demonstrated to narrow at the stenotic area just distal to the aortic valve.

Postcardiotomy Mechanical Circulatory Support in Two Infants with Williams’ Syndrome
Supravalvar aortic stenosis (SVAS) in patients with Williams’ syndrome is often accompanied by coronary, pulmonary, and even myocardial lesions and therefore associated with increased perioperative morbidity and mortality.

A new mouse model of elastin haploinsufficiency highlights the importance of elastin to vascular development and blood pressure regulation [PDF]
Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) is an autosomal dominant disease resulting from elastin (ELN) haploinsufficiency. Individuals with SVAS typically develop a thickened arterial media with an increased number of elastic lamellae and smooth muscle cell (

Disorders of puberty and neurodevelopment: A shared etiology?
Disorders of puberty result primarily from dysregulation of gonadotropin‐releasing hormone secretion in the hypothalamus. Studies have uncovered associations between pubertal timing and neurodevelopment. This review discusses the overlap between the brain circuitry controlling puberty and behavior, highlights neurodevelopmental conditions with ...
