Aim of the present study was to screen a Moroccan population with ASDII for NKX2-5 variants and to assess risk factors that may contribute to emergence of the disorder.
We sought to examine the importance of mutations in the cardiac transcription factor gene NKX2-5 in patients with an atrial septal defect (ASD), patent foramen ovale (PFO), or hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS).
