- The State of Gladstone is where our community comes together to reflect, connect, and look ahead. Here are some highlights from this year’s gathering.
- Every year, nearly 1 in 100 babies are born with a hole in their heart. These heart defects often result in a lifetime of invasive surgeries, medications, and constant monitoring.

- While many genes involved in heart defects are difficult to target with medicine, the signaling molecules identified in this study can be targeted.
- In laboratory models, adjusting these molecules partially prevented heart defects from forming. Interestingly, these molecules were previously known for building the brain, and this is the first time they’ve been linked to heart formation.
