This project is an addition to an ongoing study using Drosophila to model Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). The added part is to use the powerful genetic tools in Drosophila to identify gene combinations that cause CHD in Down Syndrome (DS) patients, and to investigate the molecular mechanism of CHD in DS.
