Abstract:
Background - Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most frequent malformations among
newborns and a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality. Although genetic variation
contributes to CHD, their precise molecular bases remain unknown in the majority of patients.
Methods and Results - We analyzed, by high-resolution array comparative genomic
hybridization (aCGH), 316 children with sporadic, non-syndromic CHD, including 76
coarctation of the aorta (CoA), 159 transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and 81 tetralogy of
Fallot (ToF), as well as their unaffected parents. We identified by aCGH, and validated by
quantitative real-time PCR, 71 rare de novo (n=8) or inherited (n=63) copy-number variants
(CNVs) (50 duplications; 21 deletions) in patients. We identified 113 candidate genes for CHD
within these CNVs, including BTRC, CHRNB3, CSRP2BP, ERBB2, ERMARD, GLIS3, PLN,
PTPRJ, RLN3 and TCTE3. No de novo CNVs were identified in patients with TGA in contrast to
CoA and ToF (p=0.002; Fisher’s exact test). A search for transcription factor binding-sites
showed that 93% of the rare CNVs identified in patients with CoA contained at least one gene
with FOXC1 binding-sites. This significant enrichment (p<0.0001; permutation test) was not
observed for the CNVs identified in patients with TGA and ToF. We hypothesize that these
CNVs may alter the expression of genes regulated by FOXC1. Foxc1 belongs to the forkhead
transcription factors family, which plays a critical role in cardiovascular development in mice.
Conclusions - These data suggest that deregulation of FOXC1 or its downstream genes play a
major role in the pathogenesis of CoA in humans.

Introduction
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common congenital malformations with an
incidence of 0.5-1% of live births 1. They also are the first cause of mortality during the first year
of life of newborns in developed countries 2. Despite therapeutic advances, CHD are associated
with a high proportion of long term morbidity. Among CHD, a large subset involves the outflow
tract. This heterogeneous group of malformations represents 20-30% of the CHD diagnosed in
newborns 3. Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) accounts for 5-7% of all CHD 4 and is one
of the most common cyanotic disorder diagnosed in the neonatal period with a prevalence of 0.2
per 1,000 live births. The most common form of TGA is the dextro-looped type, which consists
in a discordant ventriculo-arterial connection implying that the aorta incorrectly arises from the
right ventricle in an anterior and right-sided position, whereas the pulmonary artery incorrectly
arises from the left ventricle in a posterior and left-sided position. By contrast to the normal heart
in which both outflow tracts and great vessels show a dextral (right-handed) spiralization, the
great vessels in TGA present with a parallel course lacking normal spiralization. Coarctation of
the aorta (CoA) is an outflow tract defect by which the aorta narrows in the area where the
ductus arteriosus inserts. This is a relatively common defect that accounts for around 7% of all
CHD 5. Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is defined by a combination of malpositioned aorta that
overrides both ventricles, ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis obstructing the blood
flow into the lungs and right ventricular hypertrophy. ToF is the most common cyanotic
congenital cardiac disease in humans with an occurrence of one per 3,000 live births and
accounts for 10% of all CHD 6.
Although most of the patients undergo successful surgery in developed countries, the risk
of cardiac malformation in their offspring is significantly higher than in the general population 7

suggesting genetic defects. Despite the high incidence of CHD, the etiology of these
malformations remains largely unknown. About 20% of CHD can be attributed to known causes
such as chromosomal abnormalities, single gene disorders or exposure to teratogens while no
etiology is identified in about 80% of the patients 8. A multifactorial origin associating
environmental and genetic factors seems to be the usual mode of inheritance 2,8. The
identification of new genes involved in non-syndromic forms of CHD would help to better
understand the molecular mechanisms leading to these malformations and to improve genetic
counseling and disease prevention for couples having an affected child as well as adult patients
willing to reproduce.
Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) is a method allowing to detect copy-
number variations (CNVs) (i.e. deletions and duplications) at a genome-wide level. The study of
sporadic patients with non-syndromic CHD by aCGH is an alternative to classic family studies
for the identification of new genes implicated in these pathologies. A few studies have evidenced
rare CNVs in patients with non-syndromic CHD using this method 9–16.
Here we report a study performed in 316 children with non-syndromic CHD and their normal
parents. Our data show a high contribution of rare inherited but also de novo CNVs to human
CHD and suggest a major role of FOXC1 in the pathogenesis of CoA.

Informed consent for genetic analyses was obtained from all individuals participating in the
study. The protocol was approved by the ethics committee of the University Hospital of Nantes
(BRD 09/3A). Children from 468 families (85 with CoA, 291 with TGA and 92 with ToF)
presenting with a sporadic and non-syndromic outflow tract (OFT) defect were referred to the

University Hospitals of Nantes, Tours, Angers and Necker Enfants Malades in Paris. In all
included families except one (#417, two siblings with TGA), a single child was affected. A male-
to-female sex ratio bias of 2.2:1 was observed in our series of patients with TGA, which is
similar to that previously published in the literature 17. Both parents were available for 316
families (i.e. 76 with CoA, 159 with TGA and 81 with ToF) which were retained for the study.
Since only one parent was available for the remaining 152 families, the latter were not studied.
Patients with extra-cardiac features, such as learning disability, brain, craniofacial or renal
anomalies, or carrying a clinically recognizable microdeletion/microduplication syndrome or a
monogenic disorder had been excluded from the cohort. The patients for whom one of the
parents or another relative was known to present a CHD were also excluded from the study.
None of the included parents were symptomatic for any heart disease or underwent cardiac
surgery. If a parent reported a symptom that could suggest any CHD, echocardiography was
performed to exclude a minor anomaly.
DNA extraction
DNA from all probands and their normal parents was extracted from whole peripheral blood
using NucleoSpin® Blood XL (Macherey Nagel), illustraTM DNA Extraction Kit BACC2 (GE
Healthcare) or UltraPure™ Phenol:Chloroform:Isoamyl Alcohol (25:24:1, v/v) (Life
TechnologiesTM) according to manufacturers’ instructions.

aCGH experiments were performed on 316 family trios using 2*400K Agilent custom-designed
arrays (024825_D_F_20090731). According to our ethical rules and in order to minimize the

excluded from the design of the array (list of genes available upon request). Microarrays
contained 300,000 probes located exclusively in exonic sequences with at least one probe in each
exon of ~19,000 genes. In addition, 100,000 probes covered with high-density 297 candidate
genes known or suspected to play a role in heart development in humans or animal models
(Supplementary Table 1). These probes were located in the exonic and intronic sequences, 10 kb
upstream and downstream of the coding regions. Digestion, labelling and hybridization were
performed according to the protocols provided by Agilent. Children’s DNA were hybridized
twice, once with that of the father and once with that of the mother (Figure 1). The arrays were
analyzed with the Agilent scanner and the Feature Extraction software (v.9.1.3). Graphical
overview was obtained using the customized SigFrame software
(https://github.com/lindenb/jvarkit/wiki/SigFrame). All genomic coordinates were based on the
February 2009 assembly of the reference genome (GRCh37/hg19).
CNVs detection
Rare CNVs were selected according to the following criteria: 1) CNVs containing at least part of
an exon; 2) CNVs absent or with a frequency lower than 1% from the CNV consensus reference
set version 2.1 (42 million probes study 18, WTCCC study (http://www.wtccc.org.uk/), 1000

CNVs present less than 4 times in the Database of Genomic Variants
(http://dgv.tcag.ca/dgv/app/home) 19.
Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) validation
The CNVs fulfilling selection criteria were subjected to validation by qPCR. At least one pair of

comprised an initial denaturation at 95°C for 4 min, followed by 40 cycles at 95°C for 15 sec,
60°C for 10 sec and 72°C for 10 sec. qPCR reactions were carried out in a LightCycler®480
System (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Roche Applied Science, Mannheim, Germany).
Amplification products were analyzed using LightCycler®480 software version 1.5.0 (Roche

ALB and TNNI3K genes for normalization. The validated CNVs were uploaded in the LOVD
v.3.0 Leiden Open Variation Database (http://www.lovd.nl/) (Supplementary data: Accession
numbers).
Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBS) enrichment analyses
Sixty-nine out of 71 qPCR-validated CNVs identified in affected children were used for TFBS
enrichment analyses. Two validated CNVs (7.9 Mb and 14.5 Mb) were removed from the
analyses because they could induce bias due to their large size. To identify the predicted
transcription factors binding the genes included in the 69 CNVs present in the 316 patients and in
each subgroup of CHD (i.e. CoA, TGA and ToF), we used the HMR Conserved TFBS track of
UCSC which contains the location and score of TFBS conserved in the human/mouse/rat
alignment 20. A TFBS was retained when it was partially or entirely included in one of the 69
rare CNVs. The score and threshold were computed with the Transfac Matrix Database (v7.0)
created by Biobase (http://www.biobase-international.com/). Over-representation of the TFBS in
the observed data (i.e. 69 rare CNVs in the patients) was assessed through random permutations.
We simulated 10,000 datasets with 69 chromosomal regions randomly picked on the genome (a
v.3.0 Leiden Open Variation Database (http://www.lovd.nl/) (Supplementary dattta:a: AAAccccccesesessisisiononon

chromosomal region had a chance to be picked as location for a CNV proportional to its length).
This assignation was repeated until the CNV was positioned in a region spanning at least one
gene and where no polymorphic CNV exists. This procedure allowed mimicking the original
experiment and provided a distribution of any enrichment statistics which was really tailored for
this experiment. Therefore, random regions were equivalent in size to the 69 CNVs, and 90% of
their length had to overlap real rare CNVs. For each permutation, the number of random regions
overlapping at least one binding site for the selected transcription factor was recorded, and the p-
value was computed as the number of permutations where this number exceeded the number
observed in the real CNVs, divided by the total number of permutations. We used the rare
validated CNVs (n=78) present in unaffected parents but absent in affected children as a negative
control group.
Results
Rare CNVs detected in affected children
The 316 family trios (affected children and both unaffected parents) retained and analyzed by
aCGH led to the identification of 152 rare CNVs that fulfilled selection criteria. They were 38 in
trios with CoA, 72 in trios with TGA and 42 in trios with ToF. qPCR analysis performed in the
children and their parents showed that 71 CNVs (50 duplications and 21 deletions) were present
in affected children (15 in CoA, 29 in TGA and 27 in ToF) (Supplementary Table 3). Moreover,
78 CNVs were present in one of the parents (Supplementary Table 4) and 3 CNVs were aCGH
false-positive results. The size of the CNVs ranged between 2.9 kb and 1.8 Mb except for two
large CNVs of 7.9 Mb and 14.5 Mb respectively. After exclusion of frequent CNVs, at least one
of the 71 rare CNVs potentially related to CHD was retrieved in 65 (20.6%) patients. Six patients
carried two rare CNVs. Among the 71 CNVs identified, 63 (88.7%) were inherited from one of

the parents and 8 (11.3%) were de novo CNVs, not observed in either parent. Three de novo
CNVs (4.1%; 1 duplication and 2 deletions) were observed in 76 patients with CoA and 5 (6.6%;
2 duplications and 3 deletions) in 81 patients with ToF (Table 1). No de novo CNV was
identified in the 159 patients with TGA. Fisher’s exact test showed a highly significant
difference (p=0.0028) in the proportion of de novo CNVs across the three groups of CHD [0 out
of 159 (group of TGA) vs 3 out of 76 (group of CoA) vs 5 out of 81 (group of ToF)].
Comparison between the group of TGA and the groups of CoA and ToF together (0 out of 159 vs
8 out of 157) also led to a significant difference (p=0.0034) (Table 1). Duplications (70.5%) were
more frequent than deletions (29.5%). Among the inherited CNVs, 30 CNVs were inherited from

(Supplementary Table 3). No CNV responsible for a known syndromic disorder, such as the
22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome, was identified.
Genomic distribution of the CNVs
The 71 rare CNVs appeared to be distributed all over the genome (Supplementary Figure 1 and
Supplementary Table 3). No recurrent CNVs were identified but partially overlapping CNVs
were observed for three genomic regions, respectively at 10q24.32, 11p11.2 and 20p11.23. An
overlapping duplication at 10q24.32 was identified in two unrelated children with TGA (patients
#351 and #222). In both these cases, the CNVs were inherited and included a portion of the
BTRC gene (Figure 2A,B). The second overlapping region at 11p11.2 was observed in two
unrelated children presenting with two different forms of CHD. One patient presented with CoA
(patient #174) and carried a paternally inherited duplication including the entire coding sequence
of the PTPRJ gene. The other patient presented with ToF (patient #153) and carried a paternally
inherited deletion including a portion of the PTPRJ gene (Figure 2C,D). The third overlapping

region at 20p11.23 was detected in two unrelated children presenting with two different forms of
CHD. One patient presented with ToF (patient #42) and carried a de novo CNV duplication. The
other patient presented with TGA (patient #341) and carried a maternally inherited duplication.
Both CNVs included the ZNF133, POLR3F, RBBP9, and DZANK1 entire gene coding sequences
(Figure 2E,F).
In one family (Figure 3A), we identified a homozygous deletion in the affected child. The
deletion was inherited from both consanguineous parents, each being heterozygous, and
contained a portion of the CHRNB3 gene (Figure 3B). In another family (Figure 3C), we
identified a rare duplication in two siblings. The duplication was inherited from a phenotypically
normal mother and contained a portion of the TCTE3 gene and the ERMARD gene (Figure 3D).
Finally, we identified a 1q21 duplication in a patient with ToF (patient #43). The
duplication was inherited from a phenotypically normal mother.
Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBS) enrichment for FOXC1
The list of predicted TFBS was downloaded from UCSC
(http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/database/tfbsConsSites.txt.gz). An
overrepresentation of FOXC1 binding sites (p<0.0001), estimated through the permutation
procedure described in the Methods section, was observed for 54 of the 69 CNVs retained for
TFBS searches (Supplementary Table 5). Fifty-four out of 69 CNVs (77%) contained at least one
FOXC1 binding site. Considering each group of CHD, a significant enrichment of FOXC1
binding sites was only observed for the CNVs identified in the group of patients with CoA and
not in the groups of patients with TGA or ToF (at least one FOXC1 binding site was identified in
14/15 CoA CNVs (93%; p<0.0001) versus 20/29 (69%; p=0.023) in TGA and 19/25 (76%;
p=0.057) in ToF).

By contrast, the rare validated CNVs (n=78) present in unaffected parents but absent in
affected children used as a negative control group did not show any significant enrichment in
FOXC1 binding sites (p=0.294), comforting the specificity of FOXC1 overrepresentation in
CHD.
Discussion
This study reports a family trio-based study performed to identify rare CNVs in patients with
sporadic, non-syndromic cardiac outflow tract defects of three different types, respectively CoA,
TGA and ToF. The family trio design allowed us to identify 8 (11.3%) de novo rare CNVs and
63 (88.7%) inherited ones. De novo CNVs were significantly more frequent in patients with CoA
(4.1%) and ToF (6.6%) compared to patients with TGA (no CNV in 159 patients) (p=0.002).
This difference indicates that novel genetic events are less frequent in the pathogenesis of TGA
than in that of ToF and CoA. Thus, TGA could result from a genetic predisposition related to a
number of low-impact, mostly inherited, variants associated to environmental factors. The
frequency of de novo CNVs identified in patients with ToF (6.6%) is broadly similar to
previously reported frequencies 11,21 considering the differences in the arrays and analysis
pipelines between the studies. For example, Greenway et al. 11 reported 10% of de novo CNVs in
their ToF patients’ cohort which is slightly more than what we observed. This slight difference
might also be due to the fact that some of the de novo CNVs described by Greenway et al. 11 are
usually considered as syndromic such as the 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome. Our stringent
clinical selection criteria may explain the absence of detection of such genomic disorders in our
cohort.
The proportion of inherited CNVs that we detected was similar between the three types of
CHD. The fact that a majority of the rare CNVs were inherited from a phenotypically healthy

parent suggests that they contribute to the CHD but are not sufficient by themselves to cause the
disease. Such variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance are again observed in such
genomic disorders as the 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome that can be inherited from a “healthy”
parent.
Point mutations or CNVs involving binding sites located in regulatory regions of genes
may cause developmental defects, such as SHH and polydactyly or PAX6 and aniridia 22.
Regarding CHD, Smemo et al. published an elegant study showing that regulatory variation in a
TBX5 enhancer leads to isolated congenital heart disease 23. We also previously showed that
deletions upstream of SOX9 containing regulatory elements are likely responsible for isolated
congenital heart defects 24. We performed here a computational approach to search for an
enrichment of binding-sites of transcription factor genes within our rare CNVs dataset that might
have altered the expression of genes and thus contributed to the CHD. Our TFBS approach led us
to identify a significant enrichment of FOXC1 binding sites in the rare CNVs present in affected
children (Supplementary Table 5). The strongest enrichment was observed for CoA (p<0.0001)
compared to TGA (p=0.023) and ToF (p=0.057). No enrichment in FOXC1 binding sites was
observed in the rare CNVs identified in unaffected parents and it was absent in children. FOXC1
belongs to the forkhead family of transcription factors and plays an essential role in the
regulation of embryonic development in different model organisms 25. It is notably involved in
cardiovascular development and in particular in the morphogenesis of the cardiac outflow tract
26–28. Human FOXC1 heterozygous mutations are responsible for the Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome,
a developmental disorder affecting structures in the anterior segment of the eye. Mutations in
FOXC1 have been identified in a few patients presenting CHD in addition to Axenfeld-Rieger
syndrome 29,30. Interestingly, a de novo deletion of ~45 kb including FOXC1 has been reported in
congenital heart defects 2424. We performed here a computational approach to searccch hh fofof rrr ananan

a patient with atrial septal defect in addition to bilateral congenital glaucoma, partial aniridia and
club feet 9. A recent study 31 has reported mutations in FOXC1 that affect gene transactivation in
patients presenting with non-syndromic TOF. Taken together, these previously published data
and our results strongly suggest that a dysregulation of FOXC1 or its downstream regulated
genes may contribute to the pathogenesis of CHD and in particular CoA. Nevertheless, further
experimental analyses of putative sites need to be performed to strength this conclusion.
We compared our data to CNVs from patients with CHD downloaded from DECIPHER
(https://decipher.sanger.ac.uk/) and ISCA (https://www.iscaconsortium.org/) public databases
and from the existing literature. After exclusion of the patients with the largest CNVs, for whom
genotype-phenotype correlations were not consistent, we identified seven patients from the
public databases and the literature carrying a CNV partially overlapping with a CNV identified
in four patients of our cohort (Table 2). (i) Three patients from the public databases presenting
with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) or CoA (DECIPHER 1578, ISCA nssv706487, ISCA
nssv706596) carried deletions of variable sizes including GLIS3. These deletions partially
overlapped with a duplication identified in one of our patients (#437). GLIS3 plays a role in the
regulation of a variety of cellular processes during development 32 such as cell migration. (ii)
Two duplications, one identified in a patient with TGA (DECIPHER 250627) and one in a
patient with ToF from the literature 15,overlapped with the duplication identified in one of our
TGA patients (#172). All three duplications included the entire PLN coding sequence gene. PLN
is a membrane protein that regulates the Ca2+ pump in cardiac and skeletal muscle cells.
Mutations in this gene cause dilated cardiomyopathy or arrhythmogenic right ventricular
cardiomyopathy 33. (iii) A deletion present in a patient with dextrocardia (ISCA nssv580437)
overlapped with a duplication identified in one of our TGA patients (patient 335). Both genomic

imbalances included the entire RLN3 gene. RLN3 plays a role in regulating blood pressure,
controlling heart rate and releasing oxytocin and vasopressin. Moreover, relaxins stimulate
angiogenesis via the induction of vascular endothelial growth factor 34. (iv) Finally, a duplication
including the entire ERBB2 coding sequence gene was identified in a patient with total
anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) (ISCA nssv 578742) and in a de novo duplication
in one of our ToF patients (#188). ERBB2 encodes a member of the epidermal growth factor
(EGF) receptor family. ErbB2 signaling is essential for heart development and function in mice
35. In one patient with ToF (#43), we identified 1q21 duplication. Recurrent deletions and
duplications at this locus have been associated with both syndromic and non-syndromic forms of
CHD, including ToF 11,21,36. Since the GJA5 mutant mice exhibit a wide range of CHD, among
them conotruncal defects 37, the gene appears to be a good candidate for the cardiac
malformations, although no point mutations have been identified in patients yet.
Most of the rare CNVs identified in our study show a genome-wide distribution and a
single-occurrence (Supplementary Figure 1). Only three chromosomal regions with a variable
number of copies were identified in more than one patient (Supplementary Figure 1): at
10q24.32 in two patients with TGA (#351 and 222), 11p11.2 in one patient with CoA (#174) and
one ToF patient (#153) and at 20p11.23 in one TGA patient (#341) and one ToF patient (#42).
These CNVs encompass several genes among which BTRC, PTPRJ, and CSRP2BP are good
candidates for CHD. BTRC has been related to the Wnt signaling pathway 38 which regulates
diverse cellular processes, such as gene transcription and cell proliferation, migration, polarity,
and division 39. Wnt2 and Wnt11 mutations are responsible for CHD in mice 40,41. PTPRJ is
critical for embryonic heart development and vasculogenesis in mice 42. CSRP2BP is a
component of the ATAC complex, a complex with histone acetyltransferase activity on histones
CHD, including ToF 11,21,36. Since the GJA5 mutant mice exhibit a wide range offf CCCHDHDHD,,, amamamonono g

H3 and H4. Of note, mutations in histone-modifying genes have recently been related to CHD 43.
Moreover, the double-histone-acetyltransferase complex ATAC is essential for mammalian
development 44. Thereby, these genes are strong candidates for CHD in our patients.
Two additional rare CNVs were of special interest (Figure 3). A 3.7 kb homozygous
deletion encompassing a portion of CHRNB3 was detected in a child with TGA (# 342) (Figure
3A,B) issued from consanguineous heterozygous parents. CHRNB3 belongs to the nicotinic
acetylcholine family of receptors expressed in the neural tube during embryonic development 45.
Neural tube signals are critical during heart formation and differentiation in chicken and quail
embryos 46. The second CNV of interest was observed in two TGA siblings (patient #417). Both
children carried a duplication including ERMARD, which was inherited from their
phenotypically normal mother (Figure 3C,D). The exact function of ERMARD remains unknown
but it has been recently shown to play a major role in the control of neuronal migration.
Haploinsufficiency of ERMARD causes periventricular nodular heterotopia 47. Since
periventricular nodular heterotopia has been related to cardiovascular defects, it is conceivable
that duplication of ERMARD plays a role in CHD 48.
By combining genes present in de novo CNVs, in overlapping CNVs (between our
patients or public databases), and from TFBS analyses
(http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg19/database/tfbsConsSites.txt.gz), we identified a
set of 113 candidate genes for CHD (Supplementary Table 6) and a short-list of 10 top-candidate
genes (Table 3). Developmental anomalies resulting in conotruncal defects have been associated
with distinct changes in gene expression 49, describing a pattern of expression of
developmentally important networks. This supports the hypothesis that converging and
accumulating rare genomic and epigenetic variants may disrupt regulatory networks during heart
children carried a duplication including d ERMARD, which was inherited from theeiirir
phenottypypypicalllyly nonormr al mother (Figure 3C,D). The e exe act function of ERMAMARD remains unknown

development, ultimately leading to CHD 12,13,50. Since we excluded the non-coding regions of
our custom array, we were not able to detect chromosomal imbalances involving regulatory
elements, which is a limitation of our study. According to the multifactorial origin of CHD,
environmental factors during embryo development may also be considered as contributing
factors to CHD in addition to genetic variations. Further work needs to be done to determine
more precisely the origin of non-syndromic CHD and consequently helping in their diagnosis
and management.

Figure 1: Workflow of CNV detection. A cohort of 316 family trios (76 CoA, 159 TGA and 81
ToF) was selected for aCGH. Children’s DNA was labeled in green (Cy5) and parents’ DNA in
red (Cy3). A mix of labeled DNAs (affected child - unaffected father or affected child -
unaffected mother) was co-hybridized on custom 400K array. A total of 12,019 CNVs was
obtained from analysis of the 316 trios. Graphical overview was obtained using the customized
SigFrame software (https://github.com/lindenb/jvarkit/wiki/SigFrame). After exclusion of

CNVs were validated and 3 were considered aCGH false-positive results (<2%). Seventy-one out
of 149 rare qPCR-validated CNVs were present in children with CHD. Eight CNVs were de

Supplementary Figure 1. Distribution of the 71 validated CNVs identified in our series of
316 affected children. CoA are represented by circles, TGA by triangles and ToF by squares.
Filled geometric figures represent de novo rearrangements and empty geometric figures
represent inherited rearrangements. Geometric figures colored in red refer to deletions and
those colored in blue refer to duplications. Idiographica version 2.2 (July 2013)
(http://www.ncrna.org/idiographica/) was used to create our own ideogram. Three
chromosomal regions with a variable copy-number were identified in more than one patient:
at 10q24.32 in two patients with TGA (patients 351 and 222), 11p11.2 in one patient with
CoA (case 174) and one patient with ToF (patient 153) and 20p11.23 in one patient with TGA
(case 341) and one patient with ToF (patient 42).
Supplementary Table 1. List of 297 candidate genes known or suspected to play a role in
heart development in humans or animal models. 100,000 probes covered with a high-density
the exonic and intronic sequences and 10 kb upstream and downstream of the coding regions
of those genes. Seven out of the 297 candidate genes were present in the CNVs identified in
the affected patients.

Supplementary Table 3. List of 71 validated rare CNVs (50 duplications and 21 deletions) in
children with outflow tract defect. CNV sizes ranged from 2.9 kb to 1.8 Mb, except for two
large CNVs of 7.9 Mb (Family 42) and 14.5 Mb (Family 149) (highlighted). Sixty-three of 71
CNVs (16 deletions; 47 duplications) were inherited from one of the parents, 8/71 CNVs (5
deletions; 3 duplications) were de novo. The frequencies of these CNVs in the general
population varies from 0% to 1% in some cases (according to the following databases: 42
million probes study (Conrad et al., 2010), WTCCC study http://www.wtccc.org.uk/, 1000
genomes project http://www.1000genomes.org/ and DDD controls project

Supplementary Table 4. List of 78 validated rare CNVs (60 duplications and 18 deletions) in
unaffected parents having children with outflow tract defect. The frequencies of these CNVs
in the general population varies from 0% to 1% in some cases (according to the following
databases: 42 million probes study (Conrad et al., 2010), WTCCC study
http://www.wtccc.org.uk/, 1000 genomes project http://www.1000genomes.org/ and DDD
controls project http://www.ddduk.org/). When a CNV was found just once it was indicated
as a “singleton observation” and “doubleton observation” when a CNV was detected twice.
