Conotruncal malformation complex: examples of possible monogenic inheritance.

M E Miller, D W Smith

    Pediatrics
    |June 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Congenital cardiac defects, specifically faulty conotruncal septation (CTS), may have a monogenic inheritance pattern in some families. This suggests a higher recurrence risk than the typical polygenic risk in cases with a strong family history.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Genetics
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Congenital cardiac defects (CCDs) represent a significant health concern.
    • Faulty conotruncal septation (CTS) is a specific category of CCDs.
    • The inheritance patterns of CTS are not fully understood, with polygenic inheritance often assumed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the potential for monogenic inheritance of congenital cardiac defects within the spectrum of faulty conotruncal septation (CTS).
    • To evaluate the implications of a strong family history for CTS defects on recurrence risk assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of two families with possible monogenic inheritance of CTS.
    • Review of evidence from genetic and embryologic studies in animal models (Keeshond dog).
    • Analysis of familial aggregation studies and previously reported pedigrees.

    Main Results:

    • Observed possible monogenic inheritance of CTS in two studied families.
    • Evidence from canine models and human familial studies supports genetic control of conotruncal septation.
    • Identified familial aggregation of CTS defects.

    Conclusions:

    • A monogenic inheritance pattern may underlie CTS in a subset of affected families.
    • A higher recurrence risk should be considered for CTS defects in families with a strong history.
    • This contrasts with the standard polygenic recurrence risk estimation for CCDs.
