Human Genetics of Congenital Heart Defects

Wilsdon, Anna; Loughna, Siobhan

Abstract

Congenital heart diseases (or congenital heart defects/disorders; CHDs) are structural abnormalities of the heart and/or great vessels that are present at birth. CHDs include an extensive range of defects that may be minor and require no intervention or may be life-limiting and require complex surgery shortly after birth. This chapter reviews the current knowledge on the genetic causes of CHD.
