The CHDgene website is an online resource created for clinicians and researchers who are interested in the genetics of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD).

CHDgene currently contains a list of high-confidence CHD genes. Variants in these genes have reproducibly been shown to cause CHD in humans. Initial versions of this list were utilised by Szot et al., 2018 and Alankarage et al., 2018. The primary purpose of this website is to provide a tool for the rapid identification of clinically actionable variants according to ACMG guidelines (Richards et al., 2015) and thereby facilitate genetic diagnosis of CHD.
