Genetic factors: Depends on which parent was affected. In general, a mother with congenital heart disease (CHD) will have ~5% chance of transmitting CHD to a child--not necessarily TOF though. The risk of TOF will also be significantly higher than the population baseline. If there is some other underlying genetic condition (e.g., DiGeorge syndrome), the risk may be significantly higher though.
