الوصف: Background With prevalence up to 4%, Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is one of the leading causes of neonatal deaths. VSD is a common complex genetic disorder that has been associated with many genetic determinants. Variants from genes for the transcription factors including T-Box TBX5 and NFATc1 (nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic 1), Vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ), ISLET1 (encoded by the ISL1 gene) and enzyme MTHFR , a methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase were selected. Genetic risk score (GRS) is a widely accepted approach used to convert the genetic data into prediction and assessment tool for disease susceptibility. Methods A total of 200 participants were recruited for the current study, 100 VSD patients and 100 controls. Genotyping of the ISL1 : rs1017, NFATc1 : rs7240256, VEGF : rs36208048, TBX5 : rs11067075, and MTHFR : rs1801133 variants was performed using tetra primer ARMS PCR and PCR-RFLP. For the statistical analysis, the software SPSS version 23 was used. Genotypic frequencies of cases and controls were calculated using chi-square (χ²) whereas allelic frequencies were calculated by using the SNPStats tool. The association of GRS quartiles with VSD was examined using binary logistic regression. Adjusted p -value 0.01 was used as significance threshold for all analyses. Results The ISL1 (OD: 0.242, CI: 0.158–0.37, p- value: 2.15 × 10 − 4 :), NFATc1 (OD: 2.53, CI: 1.64–3.89, p- value: 2.11 × 10 − 5 ), TBX5 (OD: 2.24, CI: 1.47–3.41, p- value:1.6 × 10 − 4 ) and MTHFR (OD: 10.46, CI: 5.68–19.26, p- value: 2.09 × 10 − 9 :) variants were found to be in association with VSD. In contrast, the VEGF (OD: 0.952, CI: 0.56–1.62, p- value: 0.8921) variant did not show significance association with the VSD. For cases, the mean GRS score was 3.78 ± 1.285 while in controls it was 2.95 ± 1.290 ( p- value: 0.479, CI: 0.474–1.190). Comparison of GRS between cases and control showed that mean GRS of cases was 1.90 ± 0.480 while in controls it was 1.68 ± 0.490 ( p- value: 0.001, CI: ...
