Association of maternal gut microbiota and plasma metabolism with congenital heart disease in offspring: a multi-omic analysis

Abstract Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital disorder diagnosed in newborns. Although lots of related studies have been published, yet the pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. A growing body of evidence indicates perturbations of the gut microbiota may contribute in a...
