Variations of CITED2 Are Associated with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in Chinese Population
CITED2 was identified as a cardiac transcription factor which is essential to the heart development. Cited2-deficient mice showed cardiac malformations, adrenal agenesis and neural crest defects. To explore the potential impact of mutations in CITED2 on congenital heart disease (CHD) in humans, we screened the coding region of CITED2 in a total of 700 Chinese people with congenital heart diseas...
متن کاملAre polymorphisms in MTRR A66G and MTHFR C677T genes associated with congenital heart diseases in Iranian population?
Background: The 5, 10-methyleneterahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) are two essential enzymes involved in folate metabolism. The relationship between genetic polymorphisms and congenital heart defects (CHDs) is inconsistent. Our aim was to investigate the association between two well-known polymorphisms of MTHFR and MTRR genes, C677T and A66G, respectively,...
متن کاملGenetic Variations in HSPA8 Gene Associated with Coronary Heart Disease Risk in a Chinese Population
BACKGROUND There is ample evidence that Hsp70 takes part in the progress of coronary heart disease (CHD). This implies that genetic variants of Hsp70 genes such as HSPA8 (HSC70) gene might contribute to the development of CHD. The present study aimed to investigate whether certain genetic variants of HSPA8 gene are associated with CHD in Han Chinese people. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A to...
متن کامل25-hydroxy Vitamin D Serum levels in Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) Children Compared to Controls
Background 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH) VitD] deficiency is a highly prevalent condition, present in approximately 30% to 50% of the general population. A growing body of data suggests that low 25(OH) VitD levels may adversely affect cardiovascular health. The present study aimed to measure the serum levels of 25(OH) Vit D in Congenital heart disease (CHD) children compared to healthy children....
متن کاملRisk Factors for Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in Vellore, India
The aim of this study was to investigate the probable risk factors implicated in the aetiology of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in Vellore population, India. CHD is now a most common cause of birth defects. The burden of CHD in India is enormous due to very high birth rate. This emphasizes the importance of this group of heart diseases. The cause of 90% of the CHDs is multifactorial, but littl...
