Expanding the phenotypic spectrum of NOTCH1 variants: clinical manifestations in families with congenital heart disease.

ABSTRACT: Pathogenic variants in NOTCH1 are associated with non-syndromic congenital heart disease (CHD) and Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS). The clinical presentation of individuals with damaging NOTCH1 variants is characterized by variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance; however, data on systematic phenotypic characterization are limited. We report the genotype and phenotype of a cohort of 33 individuals (20 females, 13 males; median age 23.4 years, range 2.5-68.3 years) from 11 families with causative NOTCH1 variants (9 inherited, 2 de novo; 9 novel), ascertained from a proband with CHD. We describe the cardiac and extracardiac anomalies identified in these 33 individuals, only four of whom met criteria for AOS. The most common CHD identified was tetralogy of Fallot, though various left- and
