GATA5
Function
Transcription factor required during cardiovascular development (PubMed:23289003). Plays an important role in the transcriptional program(s) that underlies smooth muscle cell diversity (By similarity). Binds to the functionally important CEF-1 nuclear protein binding site in the cardiac-specific slow/cardiac troponin C transcriptional enhancer (PubMed:25543888).

Congenital heart defects, multiple types, 5
CHTD5
A disorder characterized by congenital developmental abnormalities involving structures of the heart. Common defects include transposition of the great arteries, aortic stenosis, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, pulmonic stenosis, patent ductus arteriosus, and tetralogy of Fallot. Some patients also have cardiac arrhythmias, which may be due to the anatomic defect itself or to surgical interventions. CHTD5 inheritance can be autosomal dominant or recessive.
None
The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
