Risk factors for conotruncal cardiac defects in Atlanta.
Because the causes of conotruncal cardiac defects are poorly understood, a case-control study was conducted to investigate maternal risk factors for conotruncal cardiac defects. Eligible cases included all infants who were born from 1976 through 1980 to residents of the five county metropolitan Atlanta area and diagnosed with truncus arteriosus, transposition of the great arteries or tetralogy ...
متن کاملVariants of folate metabolism genes and the risk of conotruncal cardiac defects.
BACKGROUND Although congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common and serious group of birth defects, relatively little is known about the causes of these conditions and there are no established prevention strategies. There is evidence suggesting that the risk of CHD in general, and conotruncal and ventricular septal defects in particular, may be related to maternal folate status as well a...
متن کاملMisregulation of SDF1-CXCR4 signaling impairs early cardiac neural crest cell migration leading to conotruncal defects.
RATIONALE Cardiac neural crest cells (NCs) contribute to heart morphogenesis by giving rise to a variety of cell types from mesenchyme of the outflow tract, ventricular septum, and semilunar valves to neurons of the cardiac ganglia and smooth muscles of the great arteries. Failure in cardiac NC development results in outflow and ventricular septation defects commonly observed in congenital hear...
متن کاملMicrodeletions of chromosomal region 22q11 in patients with congenital conotruncal cardiac defects.
Congenital conotruncal cardiac defects occur with increased frequency in patients with DiGeorge syndrome (DGS). Previous studies have shown that the majority of patients with DGS or velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) have a microdeletion within chromosomal region 22q11. We hypothesised that patients with conotruncal defects who were not diagnosed with DGS or VCFS would also have 22q11 deletions. ...
