Abstract excerpt
The GATA-binding protein 4 gene (GATA4) encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor that plays a key role in embryogenesis and cardiac development. Variants in the GATA4 gene have been implicated in several congenital heart diseases (CHD), such as the tetralogy of Fallot (ToF), atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD), and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
