Pathogenic variants in NOTCH1 are associated with non-syndromic congenital heart disease (CHD) and Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS). The clinical presentation of individuals with damaging NOTCH1 variants is characterized by variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance; however, data on systematic phenotypic characterization are limited. We report the genotype and phenotype of a cohort of 33 individuals (20 females, 13 males; median age 23.

In this study we compared variation in six pharmacogenes detected by whole genome sequencing (WGS) to a targeted commercial panel in a cohort of 308 individuals with family history of pediatric heart disease. In 1% of the cohort, WGS identified rare variants that altered the interpretation of metabolizer status and would thus prevent potential errors in gene-based dosing.
