2. Congenital Heart Diseases
• Congenital heart disease is the leading cause of infant morbidity in
the Western world
• Nearly 1% of children have CHD, an additional 1% to 2% of the
population harbor more subtle cardiac developmental anomalies.
~10X higher prenatal incidence.
Hoffman. Pediatr Cardiol. 1995.16:155-65.
3. Congenital Heart Diseases
• Most children born with CHD do not have other birth defects
• CHD occurs in association with other anomalies or as part of an
identified syndrome in 25 to 40% cases. ~ 1/3rd of children with a
chromosomal abnormality will have CHD.
• Aneuploidy, or abnormal chromosomal number, accounts for a
significant proportion of CHD
Bruneau. Nature. 2008 ;451:943-8
4. What causes CHD ?
• The etiology of CHD is complex and is associated with both
environmental and genetic causes.
• Genetically, CHD is a very heterogeneous disease; 55 human
disease genes have been identified so far and a lot more in mice.

14. Familial congenital heart disease
• Many congenital heart diseases run in families
• With advances in genetics, we have been able to find the some of the
genetic causes of familial congenital heart diseases
• Knowledge of the familial contribution to congenital heart diseases
(CHD) on an individual and population level is sparse
Stalmans et al, Nat Med 2003: 173-82
Lambrechts et al. Nat Genet 2003; 34: 383-94.
15. Familial CHD: Role of VEGF
• Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) – plays critical role in the
formation of the endocardial cushions during heart development in
mouse model
• Three SNPs in the promoter of VEGF (C2578A, G1154A, and C634G)
shown to be a modifier of 22q11 deletion syndrome. Same haplotype
was associated with lower VEGF levels in vivo.
• In family based study: the low expression VEGF haplotype was
transmitted more often to affected children suggesting that it may play
a role in the development of isolated TOF
Stalmans et al, Nat Med 2003: 173-82
Lambrechts et al. Nat Genet 2003; 34: 383-94.
Lambrechts et al. J Med Genet 2005; 42: 519-22
16. Familial CHD: Role of VEGF
• Newer data: VEGF do not play significant role in CHD
• Genotyped 771 CHD cases, of whom 595 had Tetralogy of Fallot
(TOF), and carried out case-control analyses using haplotype-tagging
SNPs in VEGF.
• Common or rare genetic variation in VEGF does not significantly
predisposes to the risk of TOF
Griffin et al. PLoS One. 2009;4:e4978
17. MTHFR and CHD
• Initial studies showed strong
association between MTHFR and
CHD
• Data is all over the place
• A recent very large study:
analyzed primary genotyping data
on 5814 CHD cases and 10 056
controls, together with meta-analysis
of a further 1883 cases
and 3103 controls
• They found no significant effect of
MTHFR C677T genotype on CHD
risk.
Mamasoula et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet. 2013. 6:347-53
18. Familial CHD and GATA4
• GATA- family of transcription factors and upstream regulator of genes
expressed during embryogenesis and cardiac morphogenesis
• GATA4 and familial TOF
• Three novel heterozygous mutations of GATA4: p.A9P, p.L51V, and
p.N285S, were identified in three families with TOF.
• In each family, the mutant allele was present in all the affected family
members but absent in unaffected relatives
HumMutat 34:1662–1671, 2013
19. Familial congenital heart disease
• A family history of any heart defect among first-degree relatives
accounts for ~2-5% of the heart defect cases in the population.
• The same heart defect phenotype show strong familial clustering, with
relative risks of recurrence of 3-fold to 80-fold in first-degree relatives.
• Few candidate genes have been systematically investigated for any
possible contribution of common variants to disease risk.
• There is limited data, if any, on identification of culprit genes/SNPs
through whole genome sequencing on familial congenital heart
diseases.
