Abstract Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a multifactorial disease with
a significant genetic component. Epidemiological studies have identified fam-
ily history of AAA as a risk factor for both aneurysm development and rupture,
making it an important consideration for targeted ultrasound screening of eld-
erly patients and their family members. Ongoing research into the genetics of
AAA is focused on identifying risk factor genes for both familial and sporadic
aneurysms through the use of linkage analyses and genetic association studies,
although no causative mutations have yet been identified. Additionally, micro-
array expression profiling and animal models of aneurysms are being used
to identify genes and pathways for the design of novel therapeutics. These
approaches promise to deliver a better understanding of aneurysms at the mo-
lecular level leading to improved screening and treatment.

Introduction
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) contribute significantly to the disease burden
of the elderly population, with as much as 10% of the population over the age of
65 harboring an aneurysm.
1
Between 1999 and 2004, AAA was the 17th leading
cause of death in the United States, with approximately 15,000 deaths per year.
2
Advances in screening and endovascular surgical techniques have contributed to
modest decreases in AAA mortality, but further developments are still necessary.
The current treatment of choice, elective surgical repair, is highly effective when
performed, with a mortality of less than 5% as compared with up to a 90% mortality
associated with rupture.
3,
4
However, since most AAAs do not produce symptoms
until rupture, early detection is necessary for effective therapy. Additionally, due to
age or comorbidities, some patients may not be appropriate candidates for surgery.
Improvements in detection and therapy are therefore necessary to identify and treat
aneurysms prior to their growth and rupture. One promising area of research that
may lead to such developments is the study of AAA genetics.

There is strong evidence to suggest a genetic component to AAA. AAAs
frequently show familial clustering, even when they are not associated with
heritable disorders, such as the Marfan syndrome or the type IV variant of
the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. In an examination of over 125,000 Veterans
Administration patients, Lederle et al.
5
found family history of AAA to be
one of the best predictors of aneurysms, with an odds ratio of 1.93 (95% con-
fidence intervals: 1.71–2.18) for small aneurysms and 1.94 (95% confidence
intervals: 1.63–2.32) for large aneurysms, with only smoking being a stronger
risk factor. Interviews with AAA patients and ultrasonography examinations
of their first-degree relatives have shown that approximately 15% have at least
one first-degree relative with the disease
6–
9
(Tables 1 and 2 ). Examination of
952 brothers and 771 sisters of AAA patients by ultrasonography showed that
19.5% of brothers and 5.7% of sisters had AAA

(Table 2 ).
In addition, AAA exhibits many characteristics consistent with being a genetic
disease. Segregation analysis, a statistical approach to examine heredity, has
been used to study cases of AAA in two populations.
16,
17
One study suggested
a dominant and the other a recessive mode of inheritance for AAA, possibly
representing genetic heterogeneity, but each study concluded that a single gene
defect is likely to cause the disease within a family. In addition to the formal
statistical analyses supporting the genetic nature of AAA, several collections
of AAA families have been reported, the largest one describing 233 families
with multiple affecteds.
39
AAA also demonstrates characteristics of being a multifactorial genetic
disease with respect to gender. One feature of multifactorial diseases is
gender discrepancy in prevalence, a phenomenon that is well documented
in diseases such as pyloric stenosis, many congenital heart defects, neural
tube defects, and cleft lip.
40
For AAA, the prevalence is about six times
higher in males than females, perhaps due to hormonal protection in females.
However, when females do present with an aneurysm, it would presumably
be due to having a greater genetic or environmental liability and would
therefore represent the more severe end of the spectrum of disease.

is supported by the fact that females have an increased operative mortality
for both intact and ruptured AAAs compared to males.
42,
43
Additionally, if
the liability is genetic, one would expect to see a higher prevalence among
females inheriting the mutations. In one study of 542 AAA patients, the 82
(15.1%) patients who had a positive family history were compared to the 460
sporadic cases.
15
When examined for gender distribution, the sporadic cases
showed an expected 86%:14% male-to-female ratio, whereas 35% of the
familial cases were female, despite no differences in smoking, hypertension,
or coronary artery disease. An investigation of rupture rates of the patients
with a positive family history, as well as their first-degree relatives, found that
22/73 (30.1%) aneurysms in females ruptured as compared to 23/136 (16.9%)
in males. Finally, it was also found that the males with a family history were
significantly younger than the males with sporadic aneurysms, another char-
acteristic consistent with genetic diseases. Similar results were reported in
a different study of 300 AAA patients that showed a higher rate of rupture
among familial cases of AAA.
44
Based on the research described above, it is clear that AAA is a complex
multifactorial disease with genetic and environmental risk factors (Fig. 1 ).
Because of technological and statistical advances in the past several years,
studying the genetics of multifactorial diseases like AAA has become quite
feasible. Figure 2 shows the so-called “four pillars” for the study of AAA
genetics. These four approaches can each provide valuable information as well
as complement each other to help unlock the genetics of AAA.

Clinical Management and the Genetics of AAA
Despite the strong evidence for a genetic component to AAA, clinical recogni-
tion of this aspect is still largely lacking. Nakka et al. identified poor documen-
tation concerning the counseling of patients on the occasional familial nature
of AAA.
45
Additionally, “Practical Genetic Counseling”, a commonly used
genetic counseling reference, only describes familial aneurysms due to type
III collagen defects.
46
The primary clinical implication of understanding AAAs as a genetic dis-
ease is targeted screening with imaging techniques. In addition to being a risk
factor for developing an aneurysm, family history has been shown in both

arrows ) contributing to and biological processes ( below the arrows ) observed in AAA formation, growth, and
rupture are summarized. How AAAs form, grow, and rupture is not fully understood, but it is clear that AAA is
a complex disease with both genetic and environmental risk factors. Many of the same risk factors and processes
are involved in initiation and progression as well as rupture. ECM , extracellular matrix .

epidemiological and aortic modeling studies to be a risk factor for aneurysm
rupture.
47,
48
Currently, the screening guidelines for AAA are conflicted as
to whether family history should be included in the criteria for targeted
screening. The US Preventive Task Force recommends screening only men
between the ages of 65 and 75 who have smoked, citing concerns over psy-
chological harm and early treatment. However, the guidelines acknowledge
that screening can be considered in patients with a strong family history of the
disease.
49,
50
In contrast, the Society for Vascular Surgery and the Society for
Vascular Medicine and Biology recommend screening all patients over the age
of 50 with a family history of aneurysms.
51
In a study of familial aneurysms,
Le Hello et al. similarly recommend screening of all patients with two or more
affected relatives.
52
Since a positive family history can vary from multiple
siblings or parents of both genders to a single brother who smoked, targeted
screening based upon family history should rely on a careful patient interview
and clinical judgment. Additionally, referral to a genetic counselor or medical
genetics specialist may be useful if the patient exhibits a particularly strong
family history of aneurysms.
In the future, the clinical management of AAA may be fundamentally altered
by an improved understanding of the genetics of the disease. Identification of
risk alleles will help identify individuals more likely to develop the disease.
Additionally, targeted therapeutics may be developed as new genes and path-
ways important to the development of AAA are found.
Identification of AAA-Susceptibility Loci by Genome-Wide
DNA Linkage Analyses
Linkage is a genetic concept referring to the coinheritance of a polymorphic
DNA marker, a variation in the DNA sequence, with a DNA mutation confer-
ring susceptibility for a phenotype or disease.
53
Linkage indicates that the
marker is in proximity to the causative mutation since the distance between
two points on a chromosome is proportional to the frequency of crossing over.
The use of linkage analysis to identify the genetic causes of lethal, late-age-at-
onset diseases, such as AAA, has been difficult at best and has required several
technological advancements to make the undertaking of such studies a real-
ity. First, the use of noninvasive diagnostic imaging, such as ultrasonography
screening studies carried out on the relatives of AAA patients, has allowed
the identification of far more family members with AAA prior to rupture
(Table 2 ). As a result, there are far more living, affected members available
for genetic studies. Second, the development of highly informative markers
that can be easily analyzed using PCR has greatly enhanced the power of any
linkage study. Third, the large number of linkage studies being performed on
complex human diseases has refined and advanced the methods and models
for linkage analyses. Fourth, there have been theoretical and applied advances
in the linkage methodology itself.
53
Recently, two published reports identified genetic loci linked to AAA using a
method of DNA linkage analysis known as the sib-pair approach.
54,
55
By relying
upon a feature of sibling relationships, namely the sharing of 0, 1, or 2 identical
alleles at any genetic locus, the distribution of alleles expected by chance can be
easily predicted. Although sibling pairs are perhaps the most commonly used,
