Next-generation sequencing identifies novel genes with rare variants in total anomalous pulmonary venous connection
15 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is recognized as a rare congenital heart defect (CHD). With a high mortality rate of approximately 80%, the survival rate and outcomes of TAPVC patients are not satisfactory. However, the genetic aetiology and mechanism of TAPVC remain elusive. This study aimed to investigate the underlying genomic risks of TAPVC through next-generation sequencing...
