Background: Up to 20% of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) undergoing cardiac surgery develop neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDD), with some studies reporting persistent impairment. Recent large-scale studies have demonstrated shared genetic mechanisms contributing to CHD and NDD. In this study, a targeted approach was applied to assess direct clinical applicability of this information.Methods: A gene panel comprising 148 known CHD and/or NDD genes was used to sequence 15 patients with CHD + NDD, 15 patients with CHD, and 15 healthy controls. The number and types of variants between the 3 groups were compared using Poisson log-linear regression, and the SNP-set (Sequence) Kernel Association Test-Optimized was used to conduct single-gene and gene-pathway burden analyses.Results: A significant increase in rare (minor allele frequency < 0.01) and novel variants was identified between the CHD+ NDD cohort and controls, P
