Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common cause of infant death associated with birth defects. Recent next-generation genome sequencing has uncovered novel genetic etiologies of CHD, from inherited and de novo variants to non-coding genetic variants. The next phase of understanding the genetic contributors of CHD will be the functional illustration and validation of this genome sequencing data in cellular and animal model systems. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have opened up new horizons to investigate genetic mechanisms of CHD using clinically relevant and patient-specific cardiac cells such as cardiomyocytes, endothelial/endocardial cells, cardiac fibroblasts and vascular smooth muscle cells. Using cutting-edge CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tools, a given genetic variant can be corrected in diseased iPSCs and introduced to healthy iPSCs to define the pathogenicity of the variant and molecular basis of CHD. In this review, we discuss the recent progress in genetics of CHD deciphered by large-scale genome sequencing and explore how genome-edited patient iPSCs are poised to decode the genetic etiologies of CHD by coupling with single-cell genomics and organoid technologies.
