Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvular disorder with a complex genetic basis. While familial MVP-related genes have been identified, the genetic determinants of sporadic MVP remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify causative genes associated with sporadic MVP and analyze genotype-phenotype correlations in a southern Chinese population. METHODS: Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was...
