Loss of Y Chromosome in Aortic Stenosis Study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how losing the Y chromosome in blood cells may be linked to aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the heart's aortic valve. It aims to understand why this condition may be more severe in men.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have aortic stenosis, meaning your aortic valve area is less than 1.5 cm².
- You have a normal (tricuspid) aortic valve, not a bicuspid valve.
- You have not had radiation treatment to your chest area.
- You do not have an autoimmune or rheumatologic disease linked to aortic stenosis.
- You do not have active cancer.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at blood and/or body signals (called biomarkers) to understand why aortic valve narrowing may worsen and what outcomes people have. You may be able to help researchers by undergoing regular heart care plus additional testing like MRI or CT if you qualify.
This study looks for biological markers in the blood that might help predict heart-related events in people with a narrowed aortic heart valve. It aims to improve care for those with this condition, whether or not they have a procedure called TAVI to replace the valve.
This study follows adults who are having aortic valve replacement (through surgery or a catheter) to see how often certain outcomes happen after the procedure. You may be asked for blood tests and scans at set times, and some people may also be offered a special CT scan.
This trial looks at how the ascending aorta (the main artery near the heart) changes over time after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. It may help doctors predict who is at risk of aorta enlargement after this less-invasive valve procedure.
This study looks at how aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the heart valve) changes over time using imaging and blood tests. It may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
This study looks at whether people with both severe aortic valve narrowing and cardiac amyloidosis (a buildup of abnormal proteins in the heart) can benefit from a valve replacement procedure. It may help doctors understand how common this combination is and how to improve care.
