Abstract excerpt
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a common cardiac defect found in infants and children. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, our understanding of the causative mechanism and etiology of CHD is limited. To determine the genetic etiology of CHD, we selected 11 consecutive short tandem-repeat polymorphic (STRP) markers located in the interval of the 22q11.2 region to perform genotype analysis on a large...
