GENETICS OF HYPOPLASTIC LEFT HEART SYNDROME
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2007
Extract
The aetiology of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLH) is complex and involves both genetic and environmental factors. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome accounts for 1.4–3.8% of all congenital heart defects but up to 25% of neonatal deaths. As well as having a high mortality, HLH is a very significant cause of morbidity and therefore justifies aetiological investigation.
