Identification of Novel Therapeutic Targets for Calcific Aortic Valve Stenosis Using Integrative Genomics

In order to identify novel therapeutic targets for calcific aortic valve stenosis, we have generated a large transcriptomic dataset from RNA sequencing of human aortic valve tissues from 500 individuals undergoing aortic valve replacement or heart transplant at the Institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec – Université Laval (QUEBEC-CAVS-RNA). This dataset represents a unique resource to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying aortic valve diseases.]]> The study includes adult individuals undergoing heart surgery who provided informed consent.]]>
