Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is an important cause of childhood mortality as well as morbidity in children and adults. While genetic risk contributes to the majority of CHD, most individuals with CHD do not have an identified genetic diagnosis. Short tandem repeat (TR) elements are composed of repeated base pair motifs for 2-6 basepairs that are highly polymorphic in length between individuals....
