CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) represent one of the most common congenital anomalies worldwide, affecting approximately 1% of live births. They range from simple defects, such as atrial septal defects, to complex malformations like tetralogy of Fallot and hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

Distinct genetic architectures for syndromic and nonsyndromic congenital heart defects identified by exome sequencing

Nature Genetics, 2016
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) have a neonatal incidence of 0.8–1% (refs. 1,2). Despite abundant examples of monogenic CHD in humans and mice, CHD has a low absolute sibling recurrence risk (∼2.7%), suggesting a considerable role for de novo mutations ...

Gene-based genome-wide association studies and meta-analyses of conotruncal heart defects. [PDF]

, 2019
Conotruncal heart defects (CTDs) are among the most common and severe groups of congenital heart defects. Despite evidence of an inherited genetic contribution to CTDs, little is known about the specific genes that contribute to the development of CTDs ...
