Rapid discovery of novel genes

Abstract

Congenital heart defects (CHD) impact approximately 1% with BioRender.com of the U.S. population. Identifying the genes and pathways involved in embryonic heart development is essential to better diagnose and treat CHD. Previous genetic screens were nonspecific and inefficient at finding novel genes To find genes associated with CHD, we ran a novel rapid genetic screening method on zebrafish, an established model for studying human heart development.
