Case series reveals dermal alterations and pathogenic variants in patients with recurrent arterial dissections, suggesting genetic testing regardless of overt physical symptoms.
Three patients showed morphologic alterations of the dermal connective tissue, and two patients carried pathogenic variants in genes associated with arterial connective tissue dysfunction. The findings suggest that genetic testing should be recommended after recurrent arterial dissections, independently of apparent phenotypical signs of connective tissue disorders.
