ABSTRACT

As a rare type of Congenital Heart Defects (CHD), the genetic mechanism of Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return (TAPVR) remains unknown, although previous studies have revealed potential disease-driving regions/genes. Blood samples collected from the 6 sporadic TAPVR cases and 81 non-TAPVR controls were subjected to whole exome sequencing. All detected variations were confirmed by direct Sanger sequencing. Here, we identified 2 non-synonymous missense mutations: c.C652T, p.R218W in activin A receptor type II-like 1 (ACVRL1), c.C717G, p.D239E in sarcoglycan delta (SGCD). Our results offered the landscape of mutations for TAPVR in Chinese population firstly and are valuable in the mutation-based pre- and post-natal screening and genetic diagnosis for TAPVR.
