Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cardiac valvulogenesis is a highly conserved process among vertebrates and cause unidirectional flow of blood in the heart. It was precisely regulated by signal pathways such as VEGF, NOTCH, and WNT and transcriptional factors such as TWIST1, TBX20, NFATC1, and SOX9. Tricuspid atresia refers to morphological deficiency of the valve and confined right atrioventricular traffic due to tricuspid...
