About this study

Official title: Genetic Background Assessment With Whole Exome Sequencing in a Giant Coronary Artery Ectasia: a Pilot Study.

The goal of this observational study is to assess the role of the whole exome sequencing (WES) application in patients with giant coronary artery ectasia (CAE) with a high-risk of genetic background.

The main question it aims to answer are:

  • the assessment of role of WES in CAE
  • the detection of novel pathogenic mutations associated with CAE development
Read the detailed description

Coronary artery aneurysm and ectasia (CAAE) is defined as a dilation of the coronary artery by at least 1.5 times compared to the adjacent segment. The incidence of CAAE is reported in 0.3-5.3% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Giant CAAE is a rare phenomenon characterized by a dilation of a coronary artery exceeding 2 to 4 centimeters and it was found only in 0.02% of patients undergoing coronary angiography.

The most common etiology of CAAE is atherosclerosis, followed by Kawasaki disease, infectious septic emboli, connective tissue disease and arteritis. Iatrogenic causes are less common.

There are few genetic reports on potential loci associated with CAAE. Meta-analysis of genome wide association studies performed in European and Japanese population of children with Kawasaki disease has identified ITPKC, FCGR2A, CASP3 and FAM167A genomic regions to be associated with susceptibility to develop CAAE. Furthermore, 9p21 variant has been linked with coexistence of coronary artery disease, cerebral artery aneurysms and aortic aneurysms, mainly due to suspected potential adverse vascular remodeling. Nevertheless, the direct association of specific genetic variants with CAAE formation, especially with those giants, has not been proven.

Therefore, the investigators aim to assess the role of the whole exome sequencing (WES) application in patients with giant coronary artery ectasia (CAE) with a high-risk of genetic background.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Whole exome sequencingDiagnostic test

    Also called Genetic analysis

    Bioinformatic analysis of raw WES data and variants prioritization were performed as previously described.

    Reads were aligned to the hg38 reference genome sequence and visualized by Integrative Genomic Viewer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Ectasia and Coronary Aneurysm, run by Jagiellonian University at 1 site in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The novel pathogenic mutations associated with CAE development (time frame: Until June 11, 2023). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Aug 2023.
