Abstract excerpt
Conotruncal heart defects (CTDs) are a group of cardiac malformations that involve outflow tract anomalies and the arterial pole of the heart. Recent reports have identified mutations in a number of genes associated with CTDs in human and animal models. ZFPM2 plays a role in cardiac development by acting as a transcriptional cofactor that interacts with GATA4. Because ZFPM2 was found to be important for cardiac...
