Many cardiovascular and connective tissue diseases have a genetic cause and are therefore familial. They are characterised by variable phenotypic manifestations and high genetic heterogeneity and complexity. Depending on the disorder in question, genetic analysis plays a role not only in the diagnosis but also the in prevention and therapy of diseases.
