Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Investigators at BAVgenetics are dedicated to discovering the mechanisms of bicuspid aortic valve disease and why individual genetics seem to play such an important role in generation of this disease.

If you have, or have had, a bicuspid aortic valve, we seek your help in this effort by volunteering to donate DNA to the BAV Registry, so that this disease can be better understood and therapies for it can be developed.

The BAV Registry is comprised of patients who have donated DNA collected from saliva (spit) and have provided us with personal health information that tells us about their bicuspid aortic valve.

Individuals in the Registry have signed the consent form, filled out the medical history questionnaire and the authorization form, and provided DNA via our saliva sample kits.

We will send you the requisite forms so that you receive the most up-to-date information about the study as older forms may be outdated. We also need paper copies of the forms; therefore, we send all the forms via ground mail along with a pre-paid return envelope for your convenience.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Bicuspid aortic valve

Collection of patients who are known to have bicuspid aortic valve disease, diagnosed by prior cardiac imaging

No interventions assigned to this group

Relative

Collection of patients who are a relative to a patient known to have bicuspid aortic valve disease, diagnosed by prior cardiac imaging

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Any adult patient ≥ 14 years of age may be recruited regardless of gender, ethnicity or racial group.
* Patients with a diagnosis of bicuspid aortic valve will be enrolled.
* Patients who have had their bicuspid aortic valve previously replaced will also be enrolled.
* Relatives of patients with a diagnosis of bicuspid aortic valve are also welcomed to be enrolled regardless if they have BAV or not, as it is helpful to examine the DNA of first degree relatives.
