Abstract excerpt
Ventricular septal defect (VSD), the most common type of congenital heart disease (CHD), is primarily caused by cardiac dysplasia. Heart and neural crest derivatives expressed 2 (HAND2) participates in developing the right heart. The loss of HAND2 expression in humans is closely connected with ventricular septal defects. We used a case-control study to analyze the genetic variations in the HAND2 promoter region...
