Schematic of overall findings. Prevalence of the bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) morphotype is displayed as a percentage of BAV patients (n = 157) presenting for elective replacement of a non-aneurysmal (NA) aortic valve or aortic replacement due to thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), or both. Sod transcriptions represent regionalized specimens from 74 patients, of which 44 BAV patients were a subset. Findings for BAV specimens are summarized as upregulation (↑) or downregulation (↓) by left (L), right (R), or non (N) region and aneurysmal status (NA or TAA) compared with NA tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) patients (TAV-NA). No change in expression when compared with TAV-NA is denoted by a dash (−). Sod transcript expression is unknown (ukn) for all patients with type 1 L/N morphotype, type 0 aneurysmal patients, and NA type 0, type 1 R/N, and type 2 patients due to low prevalence and sample sizes available.
