Abstract excerpt
Congenital heart disease (CHD) has a complex and largely uncharacterised genetic etiology. Using 200,000 UK Biobank (UKB) exomes, we assess the burden of ultra-rare, potentially pathogenic variants in the largest case/control cohort of predominantly mild CHD to date. We find an association with GATA6, a member of the GATA family of transcription factors that play an important role during heart development and has...
