AAAS

A gene on chromosome 12q13 that encodes a member of the WD-repeat family of regulatory proteins, which is thought to be involved in
normal development of the peripheral and central nervous system. AAAS is part of the nuclear pore complex and is anchored there by NDC1.

Molecular pathology
AAAS mutation causes triple-A syndrome (Allgrove syndrome).

Patient discussion about AAAS

Q. Is there a good screening test for aortic abdominal aneurysm? A friend of mine was diagnosed with an aortic abdominal aneurysm. I am afraid i might have this condition too. is there any screening test that is good for me?

A. Today there are "mobile" testing centers that charge to use ultrasound technology to detect such things as AAA. I would highly recommend it only because it can act as a preventative measure. I am 50 years old and just suffered a ruptured AAA that very nearly killed me. I was the fortunate one. This very possibly could have detected it before it actually ruptured. You may want to check in your local areas for these mobile testing centers.
