Abstract excerpt
Heterozygous mutations in the human transcription factor gene NKX2.5 are associated with either isolated or combined congenital heart disease (CHD), primarily secundum atrial septal defect-II (ASD-II), ventricular septal defect (VSD) or tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Thus, NKX2.5 has an important role at different stages of cardiac development. The frequency of NKX2.5 mutations in a broader phenotypic spectrum of CHD...
