Abstract excerpt
Heterotaxy refers to the abnormal arrangement of internal organs in relation to each other. It is characterized by complex cardiac malformations that are thought to result from abnormal left-right patterning in early embryonic development. Mutations in four genes have been identified in human heterotaxy. ZIC3, a zinc finger transcription factor, causes X-linked heterotaxy. EGF-CFC, ACVR2B, and LEFTYA are all...
