Single ventricle congenital heart disease is a birth defect. In these children, the heart has only one effective blood-pumping chamber instead of two. Surgery can reroute the blood to use only one chamber, but multiple risk factors influence how well a child develops afterwards. Studying these risk factors can be challenging because they are interconnected, i.e. children with a genetic birth defect may be more likely to have a lower birthweight, and hence more likely to spend longer in hospital after surgery. Here, we used a statistical approach not commonly applied to study congenital heart disease and describe that whether a genetic variant (a small difference in a child's DNA) is important for how a child with single ventricle heart disease develops and grows after surgery depends on the presence of other risk factors.
