Distinct genetic architectures for syndromic and nonsyndromic congenital heart defects identified by exome sequencing
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) have a neonatal incidence of 0.8–1%(refs.,). Despite
abundant examples of monogenic CHD in humans and mice, CHD has a low absolute …

The complex SNP and CNV genetic architecture of the increased risk of congenital heart defects in Down syndrome
Congenital heart defect (CHD) occurs in 40% of Down syndrome (DS) cases. While carrying
three copies of chromosome 21 increases the risk for CHD, trisomy 21 itself is not sufficient …
