Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in transcription factor NKX2.5 cause congenital heart disease (CHD). We identified a CHD family with atrial septal defects (ASDs), atrioventricular block, ventricular noncompaction, syncope and sudden death. Our objective is to identify the disease-causing mutation in the CHD family. METHODS: Direct DNA sequence analysis was used to identify the CHD mutation. The functional effects of the...
