Daniel Quiat

M.D., Ph.D.

Attending, Department of Cardiology, Boston Children’s Hospital

Instructor in Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School

Dr. Daniel Quiat is a pediatric cardiologist at Boston Children’s Hospital and an Instructor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Quiat earned his MD and PhD in 2014 from the Medical Science Training Program (MSTP) at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Dr. Quiat then completed both his residency and fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital, where he is board certified in pediatrics and pediatric cardiology with specialties in pediatric cardiomyopathies and congenital heart defects. In addition to his clinical responsibilities, Dr. Quiat pursues biomedical research in cardiovascular development and genetics in collaboration with the Seidman Lab at Harvard Medical School Department of Genetics, with a goal of identifying genetic causes of single ventricle heart disease and illuminating the role of those genetic factors in the development of heart failure and other clinical outcomes.

Structural variants in human congenital heart disease disrupt distal genomic regulatory contacts of developmental genes

remains challenging. To test the hypothesis that SVs from people with congenital heart disease (CHD) disrupt developmental chromatin interactions, we developed CardioAkita, a machine-learning model that predicts how variants alter 3D chromatin structure. Analyzing previously genotyped de novo SVs (dnSVs), we observed a positive association between CHD severity and CardioAkita scores across dozens of families. From whole-genome sequencing of three individuals with CHD we predicted disruptive...


Mitral annular disjunction distance is associated with adverse outcomes in children and young adults with connective tissue disorders

Published On 2025 Sep 08

Journal article

CONCLUSION: A small MAD distance can be measured in healthy children and young adults. Children and young adults with CTD have a longer MAD distance than healthy control subjects, and a longer MAD distance is associated with adverse outcomes.
