Abstract
DNA methylation changes play an important role in aortopathies. However, the methylation status of genes of hereditary thoracic aortic aneurysms in patients with aneurysm, atherosclerosis and their combination remains unclear. DNA methylation of 53 genes was assessed using the RRBS method in the atherosclerotic plaque, dilated and non-dilated aorta of the patients with sporadic thoracic aortic aneurysm and tricuspid aortic valve. We also performed a comparative analysis of own and external data. It was shown that in patients with aneurysm in the atherosclerotic plaque relative to the non-dilated aorta, differential methylation affects the regions of enhancers of the NOTCH1 and GATA5 genes.
