Abstract excerpt
Exome sequencing of thousands of families has revealed many risk genes for congenital heart defects (CHDs), yet most cases cannot be explained by a single causal mutation. Even within the same family, individuals carrying a particular mutation in a known risk gene often demonstrate variable phenotypes, suggesting the presence of genetic modifiers. To explore oligogenic causes of CHD without assessing billions of...
