title: Comparison of occurrence of genetic syndromes in ventricular septal defect with pulmonic stenosis (classic tetralogy of Fallot) versus ventricular septal defect with pulmonic atresia.
abstract: Our results confirm that classic TF can be associated with many genetic conditions, but most patients are nonsyndromic. In contrast, children with TF-PA have a high incidence of genetic syndromes, particularly those related to CATCH22 syndrome.
