Rare Variants in NR2F2 Cause Congenital Heart Defects in HumansAl Turki et al.The American Journal of Human GeneticsApril 03, 2014In BriefCongenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common birth defect worldwide and are a leading cause of neonatal mortality. Nonsyndromic atrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs) are an important subtype of CHDs for which the genetic architecture is poorly understood. We performed exome sequencing in 13 parent-offspring trios and 112 unrelated individuals with nonsyndromic AVSDs and identified five rare missense variants (two of which arose de novo) in the highly conserved gene NR2F2, a very significant enrichment (p = 7.7 × 10−7) compared to 5,194 control subjects.
