Congenital heart disease: emerging themes linking genetics and development.

Abstract excerpt

Although congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common survivable birth defect, the etiology of most CHD remains unclear. Several lines of evidence from humans and vertebrate models have supported a genetic component for CHD, yet the extreme locus heterogeneity and lack of a distinct genotype-phenotype correlation have limited causative gene discovery. However, recent advances in genomic technologies are...
