Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common cardiovascular malformation in adults, with a prevalence of 0.5%–2%. The prevalence of BAV in cohorts who were ascertained due to thoracic aortic aneurysms or acute aortic dissections (TAD) is as high as 20%. However, the contribution of causal BAV genes to TAD is not known. Therefore, we evaluated rare deleterious variants of GATA4, NOTCH1, SMAD6, or ROBO4 in patients with BAV who presented with TAD. Our cohort consisted of 487 probands with Heritable Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms or Dissections (HTAD, 12% BAV, 29% female) and 63 probands with Early onset complications of Bicuspid Aortic Valve disease (EBAV, 63% TAD, 34% female). After whole exome sequencing, we functionally annotated GATA4, NOTCH1, SMAD6, and ROBO4 variants and compared the prevalence of rare variants in these genes to controls without HTAD. We identified 11 rare deleterious variants of GATA4, SMAD6, or ROBO4 in 12 (18%) EBAV cases. The burden of rare SMAD6 and GATA4 variants was significantly enriched in EBAV but not in HTAD cases, even among HTAD cases with BAV (p < .003). Rare variants of NOTCH1, ROBO4, SMAD6, or GATA4 do not significantly contribute to BAV in cohorts with HTAD. We conclude that BAV patients who present with HTAD are a genetically distinct subgroup with implications for genetic testing and prognosis. Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect in adults and is a frequent risk factor for heritable thoracic aortic aneurysms predisposing to acute aortic dissections (HTAD). To elucidate the roles of known causal BAV genes in HTAD, we determined if individuals who present with both BAV and HTAD harbor an increased burden of rare deleterious variants in NOTCH1, GATA4, SMAD6 or ROBO4. We found that variants of these genes do not significantly contribute to HTAD, even in cases with BAV. These results indicate that BAV patients who present due to complications of HTAD have markedly different genetic and clinical profiles than BAV patients who present due to valvular heart disease. Therefore, additional factors are probably required to drive clinically meaningful enlargement and dissection of aneurysms in BAV patients.
