Molecular Pathways and Animal Models of Atrial Septal Defect.

Abstract excerpt

The relative simplicity of the clinical presentation and management of an atrial septal defect belies the complexity of the developmental pathogenesis. Here, we describe the anatomic development of the atrial septum and the venous return to the atrial chambers. Experimental models suggest how mutations and naturally occurring genetic variation could affect developmental steps to cause a defect within the oval...
