Abstract

Congenital heart diseases are the most frequent birth defects and are commonly associated with skeletal malformations. Mutations in the TBX5 gene, a T-box transcription factor located on chromosome 12q24.1, have been demonstrated to be the underlying molecular alteration in individuals with different congenital cardiac disorders, notably the Holt-Oram syndrome. Six members from a two-generation family from a consanguineous couple, which had atrial septal defects associated with postaxial hexodactyly in all extremities were clinically assessed and submitted to TBX5 mutational analysis performed by direct sequencing. We detected a new TBX5 missense mutation (V263M) in all four individuals studied with cardiac abnormalities. The genotype-phenotype correlations in light of unusual features are extensively discussed, as well as the possible significance of these atypical findings. These new data extend our clinical and molecular knowledge of TBX5 gene mutations and also raise interesting questions about the phenotype heterogeneity regarding these gene alterations.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
