“…Duplications of some part of the olfactory receptor (OR) gene clusters serve as a source for the rearrangements of the short arm of chromosome 8 [Giglio et al, ; Buysse et al, ]. The 8p23.1 region and the GATA4 gene are “hotspots” for fetal heart development, as deletion and duplication of 8p23.1 are associated with heart defects including: atrial and/or ventricular septal defects, double outlet right ventricle, dextrocardia, pulmonary stenosis, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome [Pehlivan et al, ; Keitges et al, ]. Large deletions of 8p23.1 including the GATA4 gene are associated with more severe CHD than heterozygous GATA4 point mutations [Wat et al, ].…”
