Tetralogy of Fallot

Tetralogy of Fallot is a complex congenital cardiac malformation that includes of a ventricular septal defect, obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, override of the ventricular septum by the aortic root, and right ventricular hypertrophy. Inheritance is autosomal dominant and mutations various genes can be involved.
