As several single-genes that act on the formation of left-right asymmetry during embryogenesis have been identified in animals, a defect in the similar system may play a role in heterotaxia in man. We previously reported a Japanese girl with heterotaxia associated with a de novo balanced translocation (6;18)(q21 or q22;q21.3 or q22). In the...
