  1. Nine genes were identified within the AAA linkage intervals on chromosome 19 (AAA1 locus) with annotated GO or KEGG functions relevant to AAA. mRNA expression levels for each gene in both AAA and control abdominal aortic tissue, as well as a score indicating the differences in expression levels (Diff score), were obtained from our previously published work, details of which can be found in [30] and the microarray data can be obtained at the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (Series# GSE7084; http://0-www-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.brum.beds.ac.uk/geo/).
  2. 1The Diff Score is generated using a custom algorithm from Illumina. A Diff Score of 13 corresponds to an approximate p value of 0.05.
  3. 2Significantly different between AAA and control tissues after correction for multiple testing (FDR <0.05).
