On June 14, 1999, a guestion was posted by a Ronda Walton asking if heredity was connected with aortic aneurysms. Todd posted a reply about a blood sample being sent to a Dr. Milewicz concerning a type of genetic defect that predisposes people to aortic aneurysms.  Do you have any further information about this test and who and where this doctor may be located?  Thanks

I assume the test is a gene analysis.  I would try writing to Dr. Milewicz at
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Texas-Houston Medical School, 77030, USA.
