Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: GATA4 gene is a cardiac transcriptional factor playing important role in cardiac formation and development. Three GATA4 gene mutations, 99 G>T, 487 C>T, and 354 A>C, have been reported in congenital heart disease (CHD). Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed to explore the associations between 99 G>T, 487 C>T, or 354 A>C mutations and the risk of CHD. METHODS: We searched the relevant studies in...
