Rare loss-of-function variants in matrisome genes are enriched in Ebstein’s anomaly
Summary: Ebstein’s anomaly, a rare congenital heart disease, is distinguished by the failure of embryological delamination of the tricuspid valve leaflets from the underlying primitive right ventricle myocardium. Gaining insight into the genetic basis of
