Abstract excerpt
Background: Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a common congenital heart disease (CHD) and genetic variation in the HAND1 gene is associated with cardiac development. The variants in the promoter region of the HAND1 gene are unknown. Methods: We performed Sanger sequencing of DNA from 632 subjects (320 ASD patients and 312 healthy controls). The identified variants were also subjected to further cellular functional...
