Abstract

Background Congenital heart disease (CHD) may occur in
several members of a family. Studies have shown that familial
genetic factor play a role in CHD.
Objective To identify familial recurrences of CHD in families
with at least one member treated for CHD in Dr. Hasan Sadikin
Hospital, Bandung Indonesia.
Methods In this descriptive study, subjects were CHD patients
hospitalized or treated from January 2005 to December 2011. We
constructed family pedigrees for five families.
Results During the study period, there were 1,779 patients with
CHD. We found 5 families with 12 familial CHD cases, consisting
of 8 boys and 4 girls. Defects observed in these 12 patients were
tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, persistent
ductus arteriosus, ventricular septa! defect, tricuspid atresia,
pulmonary stenos is, and dilated cardiomyopathy. Persistent ductus
arteriosus was the most frequently observed defect (4 out of 12
subjects) . None of the families had a history of consanguinity. The
recurrence risk of CHD among siblings was calculated to be 0.67%,
and the recurrence risk ofCHD among cousins was 0.16%.
Conclusion Familial CHD may indicate the need for genetic
counseling and further pedigree analysis.
