We read the interesting paper by Freeman et al. [1998] on the prevalence and types of congenital heart disease (CHD) in individuals with Down syndrome. Among 100 patients with trisomy 21 and CHD the authors, using an anatomical classification, reported 45 cases of atrioventricular septal defect (AVS

Background: Recent advances in clinical, pathological, and genetic aspects of atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD) have set the stage for epidemiologic investigations into possible risk factors. Previous analyses of the total case group of AVSD included complete and partial subtypes without analys
The common major cardiovascular defects associated with DiGeorge anomaly (DGA) are: interrupted aortic arch type B (30%), persistent truncus arteriosus (23%), and tetralogy of Fallot (21%) [Van Mierop and Kutsche, 19861. Other defects such as transposition of great arteries, and isolated ventricular
