A Biobank for Long-term and Sustainable Research in the Field of Congenital Heart Disease in Germany

Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2016
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most frequent birth defect (0.8%–1% of all live births). Due to the advance in prenatal and postnatal early diagnosis and treatment, more than 90% of these patients survive into adulthood today. However, several mid-

Heart Development and Congenital Structural Heart Defects [PDF]

Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics, 2021
Congenital heart disease is the most frequent birth defect and the leading cause of death for the fetus and in the first year of life. The wide phenotypic diversity of congenital heart defects requires expert diagnosis and sophisticated repair surgery. Although these defects have been described since the seventeenth century, it was only in 2005 that a ...
