Abstract

Author Manuscript

Background—Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of birth defect with family and population based studies supporting a strong genetic etiology for CHD. The goal of this study was to determine if a whole exome sequencing (WES) approach could identify pathogenic segregating variants in multiplex CHD families.

Author Manuscript

Methods and Results—WES was performed on 9 kindreds with familial CHD, 4 with atrial septal defects (ASD), 2 with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), 2 with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and 1 with pulmonary valve dysplasia. Rare variants (
