Whole genome sequencing in transposition of the great arteries and associations with clinically relevant heart, brain and laterality genes

The most common cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD) requiring management as a neonate is transposition of great arteries (TGA). Clinically, up to 50% of TGA patients develop some form of neurodevelopmental disability (NDD), thought to have a significant genetic component. A "ciliopathy" and links with laterality disorders have been proposed. This first report of whole genome sequencing in TGA, sought to identify clinically relevant variants...
