Résumé

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are among the most common, serious birth defects. However, the cause of CHDs is unknown for approximately half of affected individuals and there are few prevention strategies. Although not extensively investigated, maternal genes may contribute to CHD etiology by modifying the effects of maternal exposures (e.g. medications, nutrients), contributing to maternal phenotypes that are associated with an increased risk of CHDs in offspring (e.g. diabetes), or acting as maternal effect genes. Since maternal genes could serve as a target for the primary prevention of CHDs, efforts to further define the contribution of the maternal genome to CHD etiology are warranted.
