Researchers shed new light on how a type of heart valve disease progresses differently in males and females.

The research reveals that this sex-based difference can be traced to a gene on the Y chromosome.

The discovery paves the way for treatments that could be tailored to a patient's biological sex.

Aortic valve stenosis, or AVS , is a life-threatening disease in which the heart's aortic.

Researchers identified a key gene in influencing how male heart valve cells responded to their environment, pushing them toward a calcified state.

The team's next step is to explore how UTY might be targeted with drugs.

They are now working to identify potential drug combinations that specifically target early-stage AVS processes in males and females.
