Cardiovascular Genetics

Columbia University is one of the five Pediatric Cardiac Genomics Consortium centers funded by the NHLBI to elucidate the underlying genetic basis for cardiac disease in children. Working with investigators at Harvard University, Yale University, Mount Sinai, and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, we are studying children with structural heart disease and their parents using the most sophisticated modern genetics methods including copy number variation, genetic association studies, and sequencing of candidate genes and whole exomes. These studies seek to identify what causes congenital heart disease, to assist families in determining prognosis, and to assess risk of having another child with congenital heart disease.
