Atrioventricular septal defect 3(AVSD3)

MedGen UID:
477381
Concept ID:
C3275750
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: ATRIOVENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT 3; AVSD3
 
OMIM®: 121014; 600309

Clinical features

From HPO
Cyanosis
MedGen UID:
1189
Concept ID:
C0010520
Sign or Symptom
Bluish discoloration of the skin and mucosa due to poor circulation or inadequate oxygenation of arterial or capillary blood.
Congestive heart failure
MedGen UID:
9169
Concept ID:
C0018802
Disease or Syndrome
The presence of an abnormality of cardiac function that is responsible for the failure of the heart to pump blood at a rate that is commensurate with the needs of the tissues or a state in which abnormally elevated filling pressures are required for the heart to do so. Heart failure is frequently related to a defect in myocardial contraction.
Hypertensive disorder
MedGen UID:
6969
Concept ID:
C0020538
Disease or Syndrome
The presence of chronic increased pressure in the systemic arterial system.
First degree atrioventricular block
MedGen UID:
43215
Concept ID:
C0085614
Disease or Syndrome
Delay of conduction through the atrioventricular node, which is manifested as prolongation of the PR interval in the electrocardiogram (EKG). All atrial impulses reach the ventricles.
Midsystolic murmur
MedGen UID:
534395
Concept ID:
C0232259
Finding
A systolic murmur that begins after S1 and ends before S2, typically with a crescendo-decrescendo pattern.
Primum atrial septal defect
MedGen UID:
83374
Concept ID:
C0344735
Congenital Abnormality
An ostium primum atrial septal defect is located in the most anterior and inferior aspect of the atrial septum. The ostium primum refers to an anterior and inferior opening (ostium) within the septum primum, which divides the rudimentary atrium during fetal development. The ostium primum is normally sealed by fusion of the superior and inferior endocardial cushions around 5 weeks' gestation. Ostium primum defects result from a failure of the fusion of the embryologic endocardial cushion and septum primum.
Atrioventricular septal defect
MedGen UID:
501123
Concept ID:
C1389018
Congenital Abnormality
The term 'atrioventricular septal defect' (AVSD) covers a spectrum of congenital heart malformations characterized by a common atrioventricular junction coexisting with deficient atrioventricular septation. In ostium primum atrial septal defect (ASD) there are separate atrioventricular valvar orifices despite a common junction, whereas in complete AVSD the valve itself is also shared (summary by Craig, 2006). AVSD, also designated endocardial cushion defect or atrioventricular canal defect (AVCD), is known to occur in either a nonsyndromic (isolated) form or, more commonly, as part of a malformation syndrome. The 2 syndromes most frequently associated with AVSD are Down syndrome (190685), in which AVSD is the most frequent congenital heart defect, and Ivemark syndrome (208530) (summary by Carmi et al., 1992). Genetic Heterogeneity of Isolated Atrioventricular Septal Defect An AVSD susceptibility locus (AVSD1) maps to chromosome 1p31-p21; AVSD2 (606217) is caused by mutation in the CRELD1 gene (607170) on chromosome 3p25; AVSD4 (614430) is caused by mutation in the GATA4 gene (600576) on chromosome 8p23.1; and AVSD5 (614474) is caused by mutation in the GATA6 gene (601656) on chromosome 18q11. A form of AVSD, designated AVSD3, was thought to be caused by mutation in the GJA1 gene (121014.0011), but this variant has been reclassified as a variant of unknown significance. Somatic mutations in the HAND1 gene (602406) have been identified in tissue samples from patients with AVSDs.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension
MedGen UID:
425404
Concept ID:
C2973725
Disease or Syndrome
Pulmonary hypertension is defined mean pulmonary artery pressure of 25mmHg or more and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 15mmHg or less when measured by right heart catheterisation at rest and in a supine position.
