Abstract excerpt
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), the most common severe cyanotic congenital heart disease, has unclear genetic causes. Through next-generation sequencing in 131 patients with nonsyndromic TOF, we identified an increased burden of rare deleterious variants in ciliary genes and cilium pathway and observed a multigenic inheritance pattern, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.672 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.120 to 2.547;...
