Since 2013, MAC has been highly productive, publishing numerous articles in leading medical journals. Data generated by MAC has informed clinical management guidelines for individuals affected by genetic HTAD. Please see our publications for more details.

The goals of the MAC registry are:

To improve the diagnostic criteria of a growing list of conditions, now more than two dozen
To understand the natural and clinical histories of these conditions
To discover additional genetic variations that predispose to Hereditary Thoracic Aortic Disease (HTAD)
To discover and test new approaches to treatment
And to facilitate collaborations in all of these endeavors
