A family with a new elastin gene mutation: broad clinical spectrum, including sudden cardiac death.

abstract：:SummaryThe vast majority of patients with complete transposition present during either the neonatal period or early infancy. Almost always the diagnosis and the categorization of associated lesions can be established by cross-sectional echocardiography. Doppler techniques usually provide enough information about flows...
