In our cohort of unrelated TAAD patients ACMG classification tool available at VarSome was useful in assessing pathogenicity of novel genetic variants. Gene panel containing the established genes associated with the highest risk of hereditary TAAD (ACTA1, COL3A1, FBN1, MYH11, SMAD3, TGFB2, TGFBR1, TGFBR2, MYLK) was sufficient to identify prevailing majority of variants most likely to be causative of the disease.
