<i>GATA4</i> sequence variants in patients with congenital heart disease

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recent reports have identified mutations in the transcription factor GATA4 in familial cases of cardiac septal defects. The prevalence of GATA4 mutations in the population of patients with septal defects is unknown. Given that patients with septal and conotruncal defect can share a common genetic basis, it is unclear whether patients with additional types of CHD might also have GATA4 mutations. AIMS:...
