Genetics of Transposition of Great Arteries: Between Laterality Abnormality and Outflow Tract Defect.

Abstract excerpt

Transposition of great arteries (TGA) is a complex congenital heart disease whose etiology is still unknown. This defect has been associated, at least in part, with genetic abnormalities involved in laterality establishment and heart outflow tract development, which suggest a genetic heterogeneity. In animal models, the evidence of association with certain genes is strong but, surprisingly, genetic anomalies of...
