Abstract excerpt
Genetic variants may determine susceptibility of congenital heart disease (CHD). To evaluate the impact of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1), TGFβ receptor II (TGFβR2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) polymorphisms on conotruncal heart defects susceptibility, we genotyped six functional polymorphisms TGFβ1 rs1800469 C>T, TGFβR2 rs3087465 G>A, VEGF -2578C>A, -1498T>C, -634G>C and +936C>T in a...
