Call for patients.

Congenital heart defects (CHD) affect nearly 1% of the population but only few genes involved in human CHD are known. Mapping of breakpoints in disease associated balanced chromosome rearrangements (DBCRs) have been instrumental in the isolation of many disease genes and may be used as a shortcut for detection of novel genes involved in CHD.

In an effort to identify genes associated with CHD we have started a systematic mapping of breakpoints in translocation and inversion carriers with CHD as a part of the clinical spectrum.

In order to extend this study we would like to collaborate with laboratories or clinical professionals with access to samples from DBCR patients. We are especially interested in investigating de-novo cases. We are open for any type of collaboration.
