Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most prevalent congenital anomaly, but its underlying causes are still not fully understood. It is believed that multiple rare genetic mutations may contribute to the development of CHD. METHODS: In this study, we aimed to identify novel genetic risk factors for CHD using an ENU-based dominant genetic screen in mice. We analyzed fetuses with malformed hearts and...
