    Genetics of bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy

    Purpose of review The incidence of aortic dilation and acute complications (rupture and dissection) is higher in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most frequent congenital heart defect. The present review focuses on the current knowledge in the genetics of BAV, emphasizing the clinical implications for early detection and personalized care. Recent findings BAV is a highly heritable trait, but the genetic causes remain largely elusive. NOTCH1 is the only proven candidate gene to be associated with both familial and sporadic BAV. Other genes have been reported to be associated with BAV, but some of these associations may result from coexisting disease. The application of modern high-throughput technologies (next generation sequencing, genome-wide copy number and genome-wide methylation arrays) have begun to dissect the genetic heterogeneity underlying BAV as well as the diverse molecular pathways involved in the progression of BAV aortopathy. Summary The clinical variability seen in BAV aortopathy, in terms of phenotype and natural/clinical history, suggests complex interactions between primary genetic defects, other modifier genes, epigenetic factors (DNA methylation or histone modifications, microRNA) and environmental factors (disturbed flow). Integrated, more comprehensive studies are needed for elucidating these connections to develop more individualized and accurate risk assessment methods

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    After publication of this article [1], the authors noted that the given names and family names of all authors had been inverted, and are therefore incorrect in the original article. In the original article, the author names appear as the following: Gallone Maria Serena, Gallone Maria Filomena, Larocca Angela Maria Vittoria, Germinario Cinzia and Tafuri Silvio. However, this is incorrect, and the author names should appear as per the below: Maria Serena Gallone, Maria Filomena Gallone, Angela Maria Vittoria Larocca, Cinzia Germinario, Silvio Tafuri. The author names have been corrected in the author list and the citation for this Erratum
