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.

Genetic diagnosis of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1 using rare-variant linkage analysis and long-read genome sequencing

Published On 2024 Dec 13

Journal article

Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1) is a progressive, debilitating skeletal myopathy that requires a multimodal approach for complete molecular characterization of pathogenic genotypes. Here, we report genomic analyses of a family with suspected FSHD1. We first performed short-read genome sequencing, followed by parametric linkage analysis using rare variants to map the disease locus to a single 1.7 Mb interval on chromosome 4q35.2 with a logarithm of the odds score of 3.2. We then used...


Increased endothelial sclerostin caused by elevated DSCAM mediates multiple trisomy 21 phenotypes

Published On 2024 Jun 03

Journal article

Trisomy 21 (T21), a recurrent aneuploidy occurring in 1:800 births, predisposes to congenital heart disease (CHD) and multiple extracardiac phenotypes. Despite a definitive genetic etiology, the mechanisms by which T21 perturbs development and homeostasis remain poorly understood. We compared the transcriptome of CHD tissues from 49 patients with T21 and 226 with euploid CHD (eCHD). We resolved cell lineages that misexpressed T21 transcripts by cardiac single-nucleus RNA sequencing and RNA in...
