Abstract excerpt
The pathogenesis of congenital heart disease (CHD) is unclear. There is a high incidence of CHD in Down syndrome, in which RCAN1 (regulator of calcineurin 1) overexpression is observed. However, whether RCAN1 plays an important role in non-syndromic CHD is unknown. This study investigates the relationship between sequence variations in the RCAN1 promoter and sporadic CHD. This was a case-control study in which...
