A Functional Variant Rs492554 Associated With Congenital Heart Defects Modulates SESN2 Expression Through POU2F1

Hypoxia exposure is responsible for the high incidence of congenital heart defects (CHDs) in high-altitude areas, which is nearly 20 times higher than that in low-altitude areas. However, the genetic factors involved are rarely reported. Sestrin2 (SESN2), a hypoxia stress-inducible gene, protects ca...
