New research identifies two genes linked to serious congenital heart condition Scientists at the University week published for the first time, Fallot (ToF). People with four structural abnormalities in the and in the majority cases the New research identifies cause is Although most children who had Fallot will go onto lead lives, and the development heart rhythm disorders.
