Genetic and Cellular Interaction During Cardiovascular Development Implicated in Congenital Heart Diseases
16 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common life-threatening congenital anomaly. CHD occurs due to defects in cardiovascular development, and the majority of CHDs are caused by a multifactorial inheritance mechanism, which refers to the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. During embryogenesis, the cardiovascular system is derived from at least four distinct cell lineages: the first heart...
