Abstract excerpt
Congenital heart disease (CHD) can affect up to 1% of live births, and despite abundant evidence of a genetic etiology, the genetic landscape of CHD is still not well understood. A large-scale mouse chemical mutagenesis screen for mutations causing CHD yielded a preponderance of cilia-related genes, pointing to a central role for cilia in CHD pathogenesis. The genes uncovered by the screen included genes that...
