چکیده
OBJECTIVE The correlation between GATA4 gene polymorphism and congenital heart disease (CHD) was analyzed. METHOD Clinical data and blood samples were collected from 350 CHD patients who were treated at the Department of Cardiology in Beijing Anzhen Hospital. The control group consisted of 350 healthy subjects receiving physical examination at our hospital during the same period. Polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis for locus rs11392441 of GATA4 gene. RESULTS Polymorphism of locus rs1139244 of GATA4 gene was detected in CHD patients. The distribution frequencies of GG genotype and G allele were significantly higher than those of the control group. CONCLUSION Polymorphism of locus rs1139244 of GATA4 gene was correlated with CHD.

Effect of Structural Changes in Proteins Derived from GATA4 Nonsynonymous Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Congenital Heart Disease.
Congenital heart disease is the most common type of birth defect. The single nucleotide polymorphism in GATA4 is associated with various congenital heart disease phenotypes. In the present study, we analysed the nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphism of GATA4, which are involved in congenital heart disease by predicting the changes in protein structures. Total of 49 nonsynonymous single n...
متن کاملA Novel Missense Mutation of GATA4 in a Chinese Family with Congenital Heart Disease
BACKGROUND Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most prevalent type of birth defect in human, with high morbidity in infant. Several genes essential for heart development have been identified. GATA4 is a pivotal transcription factor that can regulate the cardiac development. Many GATA4 mutations have been identified in patients with different types of CHD. AIMS In this study, the NKX2-5, HAN...
متن کاملInvolvement of a novel GATA4 mutation in atrial septal defects.
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common types of congenital heart disease and is associated with a significant increase in the morbidity and mortality of affected individuals. Accumulating evidence indicates that genetic defects play important roles in the pathogenesis of congenital ASD. However, ASD is genetically heterogeneous and the genetic determinants for ASD in the majority ...
متن کاملA novel mutation in exon 1 of GATA4 in Egyptian patients with congenital heart disease.
BACKGROUND/AIM Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a common birth defect. Many studies have reported GATA4 mutations in patients with CHD, mainly septal defects. This study aimed to investigate the GATA4 exon 1 mutation in Egyptian patients with isolated congenital heart defects as a possible causative mutation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Screening for mutations or any sequence variations in exon 1 ...
متن کاملGATA4 transgenic mice as an in vivo model of congenital heart disease
Our previous study indicated that 8 patients from a family with a history of congenital heart disease had simple atrial septal defect (ASD) and carried the same mutation at codon 310 in the GATA4 gene. In the present study, to identify the functional defects caused by this mutation in an in vivo model, the transgene DNA constructs were microinjected into mice to generate a transgenic mouse mode...
