Intriguingly, two genes ( NOTCH1 and NOS3 ) that previously had been associated with increased BAV risk in humans (Mohamed et al., 1797 ; Garg et al., 2005 ; McKellar et al., 2007 ; Foffa et al., 2013 ) and/or mice (Lee et al., 2000 ; Bosse et al., 2013 ) revealed borderline significance for protection from BAV/TAA ( p = 0.05 and p = 0.06, respectively).
