    A Multicenter Analysis of Abnormal Chromosomal Microarray Findings in Congenital Heart Disease
    (American Heart Association, 2023) Landis, Benjamin J.; Helvaty, Lindsey R.; Geddes, Gabrielle C.; Lin, Jiuann-Huey Ivy; Yatsenko, Svetlana A.; Lo, Cecilia W.; Border, William L.; Burns Wechsler, Stephanie; Murali, Chaya N.; Azamian, Mahshid S.; Lalani, Seema R.; Hinton, Robert B.; Garg, Vidu; McBride, Kim L.; Hodge, Jennelle C.; Ware, Stephanie M.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Background: Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) provides an opportunity to understand genetic causes of congenital heart disease (CHD). The methods for describing cardiac phenotypes in patients with CMA abnormalities have been inconsistent, which may complicate clinical interpretation of abnormal testing results and hinder a more complete understanding of genotype–phenotype relationships. Methods and Results: Patients with CHD and abnormal clinical CMA were accrued from 9 pediatric cardiac centers. Highly detailed cardiac phenotypes were systematically classified and analyzed for their association with CMA abnormality. Hierarchical classification of each patient into 1 CHD category facilitated broad analyses. Inclusive classification allowing multiple CHD types per patient provided sensitive descriptions. In 1363 registry patients, 28% had genomic disorders with well‐recognized CHD association, 67% had clinically reported copy number variants (CNVs) with rare or no prior CHD association, and 5% had regions of homozygosity without CNV. Hierarchical classification identified expected CHD categories in genomic disorders, as well as uncharacteristic CHDs. Inclusive phenotyping provided sensitive descriptions of patients with multiple CHD types, which occurred commonly. Among CNVs with rare or no prior CHD association, submicroscopic CNVs were enriched for more complex types of CHD compared with large CNVs. The submicroscopic CNVs that contained a curated CHD gene were enriched for left ventricular obstruction or septal defects, whereas CNVs containing a single gene were enriched for conotruncal defects. Neuronal‐related pathways were over‐represented in single‐gene CNVs, including top candidate causative genes NRXN3, ADCY2, and HCN1. Conclusions: Intensive cardiac phenotyping in multisite registry data identifies genotype–phenotype associations in CHD patients with abnormal CMA.

    Case Report: An association of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction with 5p deletions
    (Frontiers Media, 2024-10-18) Mascho, Kira; Yatsenko, Svetlana A.; Lo, Cecilia W.; Xu, Xinxiu; Johnson, Jennifer; Helvaty, Lindsey R.; Burns Wechsler, Stephanie; Murali, Chaya N.; Lalani, Seema R.; Garg, Vidu; Hodge, Jennelle C.; McBride, Kim L.; Ware, Stephanie M.; Lin, Jiuann-Huey Ivy; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Introduction: 5p deletion syndrome, also called Cri-du-chat syndrome 5p is a rare genetic syndrome with reports up to 36% of patients are associated with congenital heart defects. We investigated the association between left outflow tract obstruction and Cri-du-chat syndrome. Methods: A retrospective review of the abnormal microarray cases with congenital heart defects in Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and the Cytogenomics of Cardiovascular Malformations Consortium. Results: A retrospective review at nine pediatric centers identified 4 patients with 5p deletions and left outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). Three of these patients had additional copy number variants. We present data suggesting an association of LVOTO with 5p deletion with high mortality in the presence of additional copy number variants. Conclusion: A rare combination of 5p deletion and left ventricular outflow obstruction was observed in the registry of copy number variants and congenital heart defects.
