The transcription factor Sox7 modulates endocardiac cushion formation contributed to atrioventricular septal defect through Wnt4/Bmp2 signaling

Abstract Cardiac septum malformations account for the largest proportion in congenital heart defects. The transcription factor Sox7 has critical functions in the vascular development and angiogenesis. It is unclear whether Sox7 also contributes to cardiac septation development. We identified a de no...
