An important advance in the description and understanding of congenital heart block (CHB) came in the 1970s with the observation that mothers of affected infants frequently had autoimmune diseases and, in particular, that many maternal sera contained antibodies to SSA/Ro and SSB/La ribonucleoproteins. Although the molecular biology of the candidate antigens has been extensively defined, the arrhythmogenic and...
