The complex SNP and CNV genetic architecture of the increased risk of congenital heart defects in Down syndrome

Here we aimed to contribute to the description of the genetic architecture of Congenital heart defect (CHD) in Down syndrome (DS), and report the results of a genome-wide association study using samples from DS individuals with and without CHD. CHD is a common developmental defect of DS occurring in 40% of cases. This case-control GWAS includes 187 DS with CHD as cases, and 151 DS without CHD as controls.
