In an attempt to replicate findings, we identified three loss-of-function or damaging variants in FLT4, KDR, and IQGAP1 in ten independent families with TOF.
Importantly, the WWP2-regulated pro-fibrotic gene network is conserved across different cardiac diseases characterized by fibrosis: human and murine dilated cardiomyopathy and repaired tetralogy of Fallot.
Patients with repaired TOF had significantly higher levels of TGF-β1 (p = 0.005), MMP-2 (p = 0.001) and MMP-9 (p < 0.001) than controls, while patients after atrial switch operation (p = 0.034) and Fontan procedures (p < 0.001) had higher MMP-2 levels.
The expression levels of DGCR8 was significantly lower in CHD than healthy children (P = 0.037), and lower in TOF tissues compared with VSD tissues (P = 0.046).
Methods and Results This is a retrospective study of 654 COA patients and a control group of 876 patients with valvular pulmonic stenosis and tetralogy of Fallot to determine prevalence and independent risk factors for CAD .
Cardiac explants from patients less than one year of age with TF and DCM robustly generated c-kit- and/or vimentin-positive cardiac mesenchymal cells (CMCs), populating spontaneously forming C-spheres.
There were no data on epigenomic association of CHD in Africa, however, other studies have shown an altered expression of miR-421 and miR-1233-3p to be associated with TOF and hypermethylation of CpG islands in the promoter of SCO2 gene also been associated with TOF and VSD in children with non-syndromic CHD.
As TOF is caused by severe outflow tract (OFT) development and an alignment defect, we identified Dvl2, involved in OFT development, as a direct target of miR-138.
The current study aimed to determine the effect of losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, on subpulmonary RV dysfunction in adults after repaired tetralogy of Fallot.
In our cohort, TOF was significantly associated with a genotyped single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs12519770, <i>P</i>=2.98×10<sup>-</sup><sup>8</sup>) in an intron of the adhesion <i>GPR98</i> (G-protein-coupled receptor V1) gene on chromosome 5q14.3.

An aortic diameter of the ascending aorta, CAVI, and plasma TGF-β1 level were significantly higher in repaired TOF without ARB than those in controls, whereas baPWV did not differ.

During a community methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal colonization study, an MRSA strain with vancomycin hetero-resistance (h-VISA) was isolated from a five year-old girl with tetralogy of Fallot without previous exposure to vancomycin.
