“…In recent years, many studies have investigated the role of epigenetic modulation in regulating the pathogenetic mechanism of all types of aneurysms ( Chakraborty et al, 2023 ; Han et al, 2023 ; Rega et al, 2023 ; Tao et al, 2023 ). The regulation of gene expression appears to be quite interesting, especially considering the complex pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the sporadic forms of aortic aneurysms ( Balistreri, 2015 ; Pisano et al, 2017 ; Saeyeldin et al, 2019 ), which are the result of a close interaction between genetic and modifiable lifestyle factors (e.g., diet, smoking, infections, drug use, alcohol, sedentary lifestyle, etc.)…”
