Single-cell Transcriptomic Profiling Unveils Cardiac Cell-type Specific Response to Maternal Hyperglycemia Underlying the Risk of Congenital Heart Defects
2021-05-29
Abstract excerpt
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most prevalent structural malformations of the heart affecting ∼1% of live births. To date, both damaging genetic variations and adverse environmental exposure such as maternal diabetes have been found to cause CHD. Clinical studies show ∼fivefold higher risk of CHD in the offspring of mothers with pregestational diabetes. Maternal pregestational diabetes affects the gene regu...
