Computational modeling suggests impaired interactions between NKX2.5 and GATA4 in individuals carrying a novel pathogenic D16N NKX2.5 mutation
9 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
NKX2.5, a homeobox containing gene, plays an important role in embryonic heart development and associated mutations are linked with various cardiac abnormalities. We sequenced the NKX2.5 gene in 100 congenital heart disease (CHD) patients and 200 controls. Our analysis revealed a total of 7 mutations, 3 in intronic region, 3 in coding region and 1 in 3' UTR. Of the above mutations, one mutation was found to be...
