Application of homology modeling technique in congenital cardiovascular disease / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Congenital cardiovascular disease is a kind of congenital disease caused by the interaction of multiple factors such as heredity, environment and pregnancy infection, but its exact etiology is still unclear.With the deepening of research, more and more evidences show that genetic factors play a significant role in its pathogenesis.Many genes are involved in the development of heart embryos, and the mutation of these genes often leads to congenital cardiovascular diseases.Homology modeling is a technique to predict the structural and functional changes of proteins caused by gene mutation through computer algorithm, and its application in the pathogenesis of congenital diseases has become a future trend.The purpose of this paper is to review homology modeling and its application in pathogenesis of congenital cardiovascular diseases briefly.
