GATA4 and congenital heart disease: Other genes encoding GATA family cardiac factors, such as GATA4 (GATA-binding protein, 4; 8p23.1; OMIM*6005769) and GATA6 (GATA-binding protein, 6; 18q11.2; OMIM*601656) were observed in human congenital heart defects (Garg et al., 2003; Lepore et al., 2006; Rajagopal et al., 2007; Hamanoue et al., 2009; Maitra et al., 2010).
