Abstract excerpt
Complete transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is the most frequent cyanotic heart defect diagnosed in neonates. However, the exact etiology of TGA is unknown. The aim of the present study was to assess the association of TGA pathogenesis with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs)-1 and 3a- in Chinese children. We genotyped 5 SNPs (rs16999593, rs16999358, and rs2228611 in...
