Maternal Homocysteine and Congenital Heart Defects

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2006
To the Editor: An estimated 80% of congenital heart defects result from an interaction between susceptibilities in parental and fetal genomes and environmental exposures including maternal lifestyle factors ([1][1]). We and others have recently reported that women who have congenital heart defect-

A Genome-Wide association Study of Obstructive Heart Defects among Participants in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study [PDF]

, 2022
Obstructive heart defects (OHDs) share common structural lesions in arteries and cardiac valves, accounting for ~25% of all congenital heart defects. OHDs are highly heritable, resulting from interplay among maternal exposures, genetic susceptibilities ...

A discrete event system specification (DEVS)-based model of consanguinity [PDF]

Journal of theoretical biology, 285(1), 103-112 (2011), 2017
Consanguinity or inter-cousin marriage is a phenomenon quite prevalent in certain regions around the globe. Consanguineous parents have a higher risk of having offspring with congenital disorders. It is difficult to model large scale consanguineous parental populations because of disparate cultural issues unique to regions and cultures across the globe.
