2 Figure 1 Linkage Disequilibrium Structure of the Regions Flanking LRP1 rs and ULK4 rs Based on the HapMap CEU Data (A) Linkage disequilibrium (LD) structure (D′) of chromosome 12 region flanking LRP1 rs Red arrow indicates LRP1 rs , identified to be associated with thoracic aortic dissections in this study, and green arrow indicates LRP1 rs SNP, previously reported to be associated with abdominal aortic aneurysms. (B) LD structure of chromosome 3 region flanking ULK4 rs Red arrow indicates ULK4 SNPs that were significantly or marginally significantly associated with STAD in discovery study and blue arrow indicates ULK4 SNPs previously reported to be associated with hypertension.

3 Figure 2 Characterization of ULK4 Deletions in Individuals with Thoracic Aortic Disease and a Control Subject The black bars indicate the extent of genomic deletion in individuals with TAAD and the gray bar indicates the extent of genomic deletion identified in a control subject. The bar below the schematic of the ULK4 gene structure indicate the extent of the typical ULK4 deletion identified in individuals with schizophrenia. The scale is in kilobases.
