Abstract excerpt
Studies have highlighted the critical role of GATA6 in conotruncal heart defects (CTDs). Nevertheless, relationship between GATA6 variants and different CTDs remains largely unknown. Here GATA6 gene was screened in 542 patients with CTDs using targeted sequencing. Variant frequency was 2.0% (11/542). Three novel variants: c.86C>A (p.A29E), c.296T>A (p.V99D) and c.1254delC (p.S418fs) were identified in patients...
