GATA4 gene mutation in congenital heart disease / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

GATA4 gene mutations are common in children with congenital heart disease.More than 120 mutations have been found in ventricular septal defect,atrial septal defects and the tetralogy of fallot.But the relationship between genotype and clinical phenotype has not yet been elucidated.This article summarizes the published germline and somatic mutations of GATA4 gene in human congenital heart disease,and provides insight into the phenotypic spectrum of GATA4 gene mutation.
