  • Single gene disorder (15-??%)
  • Donnai-Barrow syndrome (LRP2 2q31), Mathew-Wood syndrome

(STRA6 15q24), Denys-Drash (WT1, 11q13)

  • GATA6, GATA4, ZFPM2 and others

  • A zinc finger transcription factor that controls gene

expression and differentiation in a variety of cell types.

  • Located at 8p23.1-p22 where there is a recurrent

microdeletion associated with both congenital heart disease and CDH (Wat et al. 2009).

  • GATA4 is an important component of the retinoic signaling

pathway.

  • ~14% of mice with heterozygous Gata4+/Δex2 had diaphragm

defects and ~36% had cardiac defect. (Jay et al. 2007).

  • The N-terminal zinc finger of GATA4 interacts with FOG2

during cardiac morphogenesis (Crispino et al. 2001). FOG2 is an important gene in diaphragm development (Ackerman et al. 2005).
