Abstract excerpt
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect in humans. Genetic causes and underlying molecular mechanisms for CHD remain largely unknown. T-box transcription factor 3 (TBX3) plays a critical role in the developing heart in a dose-dependent manner. TBX3 represses chamber myocardial gene expression. Mutations in TBX3 gene have been associated to ulnar-mammary syndrome with multiple developmental...
