Exploring the Mutational Landscape of Isolated Congenital Heart Defects: An Exome Sequencing Study Using Cardiac DNA
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common congenital anomalies in liveborn children. In contrast to syndromic CHD (SCHD), the genetic basis of isolated CHD (ICHD) is complex, and the underlying pathogenic mechanisms appear intricate and are incompletely understood. Next to rare Mendelian co...

description | Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common congenital anomalies in liveborn children. In contrast to syndromic CHD (SCHD), the genetic basis of isolated CHD (ICHD) is complex, and the underlying pathogenic mechanisms appear intricate and are incompletely understood. Next to rare Mendelian conditions, somatic mosaicism or a complex multifactorial genetic architecture are assumed for most ICHD. We performed exome sequencing (ES) in 73 parent–offspring ICHD trios using proband DNA extracted from cardiac tissue. We identified six germline de novo variants and 625 germline rare inherited variants with ‘damaging’ in silico predictions in cardiac-relevant genes expressed in the developing human heart. There were no CHD-relevant somatic variants. Transmission disequilibrium testing (TDT) and association testing (AT) yielded no statistically significant results, except for the AT of missense variants in cilia genes. Somatic mutations are not a common cause of ICHD. Rare de novo and inherited protein-damaging variants may contribute to ICHD, possibly as part of an oligogenic or polygenic disease model. TDT and AT failed to provide informative results, likely due to the lack of power, but provided a framework for future studies in larger cohorts. Overall, the diagnostic value of ES on cardiac tissue is limited in individual ICHD cases. |
