orbidity and mortality are mainly rooted in valvular

heart disease which is also associated with the result

of congenital malformations. In fact, it is important to pay

a precise attention to the fact that by the amalgamation

of human being increased understanding of heart valve

development and major advances in genetic technologies,

and by considering the success of the Human Genome

Project, heart valve diseases rooted in numerous genetic

contributions have been discovered. The present paper will

summarize the review of the related literature regarding the

two-common familial VHDs which have the genetic basis,

namely such as mitral valve prolapses and bicuspid aortic

valve; it also highlights some of the recent findings that

boosts our understanding of pathogenesis in such diseases.

The main objective of the present paper is to meet the needs

of clinicians by providing a good command of knowledge on

elaborating the notion of genetic contributions as one of the

main sources in valvular heart diseases.
