Purpose
The National Registry of Genetically Triggered Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Cardiovascular Conditions (GenTAC) was initiated in 2006 by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). The goal of GenTAC is to establish a registry of patients with genetic conditions that may be related to thoracic aortic aneurysms and to collect medical data and biologic samples. The samples and data will be made available to qualified investigators to enable research to determine best medical practices and to advance the clinical management of genetic thoracic aortic aneurysms, and other cardiovascular complications. Over 2600 subjects have been enrolled into the registry.
Eligible subjects must be seen in person at one of the participating locations. Contact the study coordinator at the location nearest you for more information about participation. This study does not provide genetic testing.

| Study Type: | Observational |
| Study Design: | Observational Model: Cohort Time Perspective: Prospective |
| Official Title: | National Registry of Genetically Triggered Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Cardiovascular Conditions |
If a blood specimen is obtained, it is separated and stored as plasma, viable cells, and extracted DNA. If a saliva specimen is obtained, it is stored for DNA.
| Estimated Enrollment: | 3800 |
| Study Start Date: | November 2007 |
| Estimated Study Completion Date: | September 2015 |
| Estimated Primary Completion Date: | September 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Eligibility| Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
| Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
| Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
