Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is an uncommon but severe congenital heart malformation of unknown etiology. Rare copy number variations (CNVs) have been implicated in other, more common conotruncal heart defects like tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), but there are as yet no CNV studies dedicated to TGA. METHODS: Using high-resolution genome-wide microarrays and rigorous methods, we investigated...
