Abstract excerpt
The clinical heterogeneity in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) underlies complex genetic mechanisms including variants in other regions of the genome, known as genetic modifiers. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most relevant phenotypes in the syndrome and copy number variants (CNVs) outside the 22q11.2 region could play a role in its variable expressivity. Since those described loci account for...
