  • Matthew Hurles and colleagues report exome sequencing of 1,891 individuals with syndromic or nonsyndromic congenital heart defects (CHD). They found that nonsyndromic CHD patients were enriched for protein-truncating variants in CHD-associated genes inherited from unaffected parents and identified three new syndromic CHD disorders caused by de novo mutations. Congenital heart defects (CHDs) have a neonatal incidence of 0.8–1% (refs. 1 , 2 ). Despite abundant examples of monogenic CHD in humans and mice, CHD has a low absolute sibling recurrence risk (∼2.7%) 3 , suggesting a considerable role for de novo mutations (DNMs) and/or incomplete penetrance 4 , 5 . De novo protein-truncating variants (PTVs) have been shown to be enriched among the 10% of 'syndromic' patients with extra-cardiac manifestations 6 , 7 . We exome sequenced 1,891 probands, including both syndromic CHD (S-CHD, n = 610) and nonsyndromic CHD (NS-CHD, n = 1,281). In S-CHD, we confirmed a significant enrichment of de novo PTVs but not inherited PTVs in known CHD-associated genes, consistent with recent findings 8 . Conversely, in NS-CHD we observed significant enrichment of PTVs inherited from unaffected parents in CHD-associated genes. We identified three genome-wide significant S-CHD disorders caused by DNMs in CHD4 , CDK13 and PRKD1 . Our study finds evidence for distinct genetic architectures underlying the low sibling recurrence risk in S-CHD and NS-CHD.
