The Pediatric Cardiac Genomics Consortium (PCGC) is a group of hospitals in the United States and United Kingdom begun in 2009 by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to learn more about why children are affected with congenital heart disease. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is one of 10 clinical PCGC centers participating in two large studies.
As part of the Bench to Bassinet Program, the PCGC is supported by appropriate cores and research infrastructure through funding from the NHLBI. The goal is to accelerate breakthroughs related to heart development and defects in children through collaborations of basic, translational, and clinical researchers.
