Abstract excerpt
Heterotaxy syndrome (HTX) is characterized by left-right (LR) asymmetry disturbances associated with severe heart malformations. However, the exact genetic cause of HTX pathogenesis remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the pathogenic mechanism underlying heterotaxy syndrome. Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed for twenty-two candidate genes correlated with LR axis...
