The diagnostic value of next generation sequencing in familial nonsyndromic congenital heart defects

Abstract excerpt

To determine the diagnostic value of massive parallel sequencing of a panel of known cardiac genes in familial nonsyndromic congenital heart defects (CHD), targeted sequencing of the coding regions of 57 genes previously implicated in CHD was performed in 36 patients from 13 nonsyndromic CHD families with probable autosomal dominant inheritance. Following variant analysis and Sanger validation, we identified six...
