Abstract excerpt
Pharyngeal arch artery (PAA) remodeling defects account for several cases of congenital heart disease. Mutations in the Endothelin-1 genetic pathway or Tbx1, a candidate gene for DiGeorge syndrome, cause similar aortic arch defects. Previous research suggests that Tbx1 may trigger diffusible signals from the pharyngeal arches to support the growth of the PAAs that contribute to the mature aortic arch. The...
