Abstract excerpt
The identification of genetic loci involved in most forms of congenital heart disease has been hampered by the complex inheritance patterns of these disorders. Atrioventricular canal defects (AVCDs) are most commonly associated with Down syndrome, although non-syndromic cases also occur. Non-syndromic AVCDs have been attributed to multifactorial inheritance. However, the occurrence of a few kindreds with multiple...
