Valvular heart disease is observed in approximately 2% of the general population. Although the initial observation is often localized (for example, to the aortic or mitral valve), disease manifestations are regularly observed in the other valves and patients frequently require surgery. Despite the high frequency of heart valve disease, only a handful of genes have so far been identified as the monogenic causes of disease, , , , –. Here we identify two consanguineous families, each with two affected family members presenting with progressive heart valve disease early in life. Whole-exome sequencing revealed homozygous, truncating nonsense alleles inADAMTS19in all four affected individuals. Homozygous knockout mice forAdamts19show aortic valve dysfunction, recapitulating aspects of the human phenotype. Expression analysis using alacZreporter and single-cell RNA sequencing highlightAdamts19as a novel marker for valvular interstitial cells; inference of gene regulatory networks in valvular interstitial cells positionsAdamts19in a highly discriminatory network driven by the transcription factor lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 downstream of the Wnt signaling pathway. Upregulation of endocardial Krüppel-like factor 2 inAdamts19knockout mice precedes hemodynamic perturbation, showing that a tight balance in the Wnt–Adamts19–Klf2 axis is required for proper valve maturation and maintenance.
