Cell Rep Med. 2023 Mar 21;4(3):100984. doi: 10.1016/j.xcrm.2023.100984.

Abstract

Identification of the causes for congenital heart disease (CHD) is a prerequisite for precise prevention and personalized treatment of CHD. Zhao et al.1 show increased that gestational serum palmitic acid (PA) predisposes offspring to CHD by perturbating the MARS/K-Hcy/GATA4 signaling pathway.
