Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to identify disease loci for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and evaluate the genetic relationship between HLHS and bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). BACKGROUND: Previously, we identified that HLHS and BAV exhibit complex inheritance, and both HLHS and BAV kindreds are enriched for BAV. However, the genetic basis of HLHS and its relationship to BAV remains unclear. METHODS:...
