GATA4 (Transcription factor GATA-4) variants and mutations

GATA4 (also known as Transcription factor GATA-4) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a transcription factor GATA-4 protein. It controls cardiac development and adult cardiac gene expression and also contributes to gonadal and gastrointestinal development. Heterozygous pathogenic variants can cause congenital heart defects, particularly septal defects, and occasionally cardiomyopathy or disorders of sex development. This analysis covers 1,266 GATA4 variants and mutations. Of these, 73% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes atrial septal defect 2, ventricular septal defect 1, and atrioventricular septal defect 4. Example GATA4 variants include Y2N, Y2H, and Y2F.
