Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify mutations in GATA4 gene in Chinese patients with sporadic congenital heart defects (CHD). METHODS: Single stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis was performed to screen for mutations in all six exons and exon-intron boundaries of GATA4 in 31 individuals with CHD. Direct DNA sequencing was used to identify the specific mutations. RESULTS: Two novel missense mutations, V267M in...
