- The study investigates the quality of life (QoL) in children with infrequent congenital heart defects (I-CHD) and how it changes over one year, comparing self-reports from children and reports from their caregivers.
- Data was collected from a cohort of children diagnosed with I-CHD in Colombia, utilizing a clinical psychology assessment and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) to measure QoL at baseline and after one year.
- Results showed that children reported higher QoL scores than their caregivers at both time points, with notable differences in cardiac module scores at baseline but no significant changes in general module scores over one year.

However, some EA patients carry deletions in 1p36, all of which have been reported to carry distal deletions and share loss of the gene, which is currently considered the most likely candidate for EA development in this region. Here, we report a patient with an 11.
