L-Transposition of Great Arteries: Possible Association With Toxic Environmental Factors
Researchers in the Department of Cardiology at Children's National Medical Center at George Washington School of Medicine conducted a case-control study of 36 cases of children with L-tga compared to 3,495 population-based live born infant controls. L-tga was strongly associated with residency in two small regions of Maryland and the District of Columbia and with other parental personal and occupational exposures including hair dye, smoking and laboratory chemicals. Both residency areas are characterized by release of toxic chemicals into air and by hazardous waste sites.
