Abstract This chapter reviews background information about the incidence, risk factors, genetics, family history, recurrence risk, and epidemiology of heterotaxy and disorders of situs, including polysplenia and asplenia. The relationship between heterotaxy and dysfunction of non-motile primary cilia is explained.

Heterotaxy syndrome is an uncommon disease, with an incidence ranging from 1 in 6000 to 1 in 20,000 live births.[1] This syndrome is characterized by major cardiac vascular malformations, congenital asplenia, polysplenia, and abnormal arrangement of the chest and abdominal organs.

Recovery of cyanosis after esophageal intubation in a neonate with tracheal agenesis: a case report
Background. Tracheal agenesis (TA) is a rare congenital defect that consists of a complete or partial absence of the trachea below the larynx, with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF).

Heterotaxy is not a risk factor for adverse long-term outcomes after Fontan completion
Background: Heterotaxy is considered a risk factor for poor outcomes after the Fontan operation. However, long-term data to support this notion are lacking. The aims of this study were to ascertain the long-term outcomes of patients with heterotaxy after

Molecular Genetic Analysis of \u3ci\u3eCRELD1\u3c/i\u3e in Patients with Heterotaxy Disorder [PDF]
Heterotaxy refers to the abnormal arrangement of internal organs in relation to each other. Model organism studies have shown that functions of more than eighty genes are required for normal asymmetric left-right organ development.

MMP21 is mutated in human heterotaxy and is required for normal left-right asymmetry in vertebrates.
Heterotaxy results from a failure to establish normal left-right asymmetry early in embryonic development. By whole-exome sequencing, whole-genome sequencing and high-throughput cohort resequencing, we identified recessive mutations in MMP21 (encoding ...

Heterotaxy Syndrome: Discordant Growth [PDF]
Heterotaxy syndrome implies a discordance between placement of thoracic organs with respect to abdominal organs. A large number of these have associated congenital heart defects. This syndrome is unique as every patient is different and can have any permutation and combination of symptoms.

Left-Sided Heart Defects and Laterality Disturbance in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a complex congenital heart disease characterized by hypoplasia of left-sided heart structures. The developmental basis for restriction of defects to the left side of the heart in HLHS remains unexplained.

Histopathological assessment of laterality defects in zebrafish development
Laterality defects during embryonic development underlie the aetiology of various clinical symptoms of neuropathological and cardiovascular disorders; however, experimental approaches to understand the underlying mechanisms are limited due to the complex
