Abstract excerpt
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common congenital anomalies in liveborn children. In contrast to syndromic CHD (SCHD), the genetic basis of isolated CHD (ICHD) is complex, and the underlying pathogenic mechanisms appear intricate and are incompletely understood. Next to rare Mendelian conditions, somatic mosaicism or a complex multifactorial genetic architecture are assumed for most ICHD. We performed...
