The formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is caused by a destructive remodeling of the extracellular matrix in the vascular wall. Proteoglycan content and biosynthesis have been shown to be altered in AAA. Xylosyltransferase I (XT-I) is the initial and rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of the proteoglycan-linked glycosaminoglycan chains. A familial predisposition to AAA is well recognized. Thus, variations in the XT-I coding gene XYLT1 might be risk factors for AAA formation.
