Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of birth defect with family- and population-based studies supporting a strong genetic cause for CHD. The goal of this study was to determine whether a whole exome sequencing (WES) approach could identify pathogenic-segregating variants in multiplex CHD families. METHODS AND RESULTS: WES was performed on 9 kindreds with familial CHD, 4 with atrial...
