| Abstract | The genetic alterations leading to congenital heart defects (CHD) are still poorly understood. We and others have recently shown that in mice loss of Hey2 results in a high incidence of fatal ventricular and atrial septal defects, combined with tricuspid stenosis or atresia in some cases. The phenotype has been postulated to resemble human tetralogy of Fallot. Our analysis of CD1 outbred mice suggests that phenotypic consequences of Hey2 loss can be quite variable and dependent on modifier genes as we detected only isolated VSDs with lower prevalence and a significantly reduced mortality rate in this strain. Since Hey2 is one of the few Notch target genes, it is also conceivable that HEY2 mutations may account for cases of Alagille syndrome (AGS: variable combinations of heart, skeleton, eye, and facial malformations and cholestasis), in which the typical mutations of the Notch ligand JAG1 cannot be found. To clarify the role of HEY2 in human CHD and AGS, we screened by direct sequencing 23 children with CHD and 38 patients diagnosed with AGS, which lack mutations in the JAG1 gene. We found two types of silent changes in the coding region: a CTT→CTG transition in exon 3 and a CTG→CTC polymorphism in exon 5. Furthermore, a heterozygous SNP in the splice donor site of exon 4 was detected that is unlikely to disrupt splicing. Although the high incidence and variability of human congenital heart defects implies a multifactorial genetic basis, our results suggest that mutation of HEY2 is not a major contributing factor. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
