Gestational intermittent hyperoxia rescues murine genetic congenital heart disease in part

Abstract Cardiac development is a dynamic process, temporally and spatially. When disturbed, it leads to congenital cardiac anomalies that affect approximately 1% of live births. Genetic variants in several loci lead to anomalies, with the transcription factor NKX2-5 being one of the largest. Howeve...
