- Abstract
The extracellular matrix is a complex network of proteins and other molecules that are essential for the support, integrity, and structure of cells and tissues within the human body. The genes ZNF469 and PRDM5 each produce extracellular-matrix-related proteins that, when mutated, have been shown to result in the development of brittle cornea syndrome. This dysfunction results from aberrant protein function resulting in extracellular matrix disruption. Our group recently identified and published the first known associations between variants in these genes and aortic/arterial aneurysms and dissection diseases. This paper delineates the proposed effects of mutated ZNF469 and PRDM5 on various essential extracellular matrix components, including various collagens, TGF-B, clusterin, thrombospondin, and HAPLN-1, and reviews our recent reports associating single-nucleotide variants to these genes' development of aneurysmal and dissection diseases.
