Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common form of congenital cardiovascular
anomaly, occurring in nearly 50% of all infants with a congenital heart defect and
accounting for 14% to 16% of cardiac defects that require invasive treatment within
the first year of life. Congenital VSDs may occur alone or in combination with other
cardiac malformations. Large VSDs that go unrepaired may give rise to cardiac enlargement,
congestive heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, Eisenmenger's syndrome, delayed
fetal brain development, arrhythmias, and even sudden cardiac death (summary by Wang
et al., 2011, 2011). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of ventricular septal
defect, see VSD1 (614429).;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the CBP/p300-interacting transactivator, with glu/asp-rich C-terminal
domain, 2 gene (CITED2, 602937.0001);
