Learn About Dextrocardia with Situs Inversus

What is the definition of Dextrocardia with Situs Inversus?
Dextrocardia with situs inversus is a condition that is characterized by abnormal positioning of the heart and other internal organs. In people affected by dextrocardia, the tip of the heart points towards the right side of the chest instead of the left side. Situs inversus refers to the mirror-image reversal of the organs in the chest and abdominal cavity. Some affected people have no obvious signs or symptoms. Dextrocardia with situs inversus can also be associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia (also known as Kartagener syndrome).

Diagnostic and Clinical Characterization of Patients With Unusual Genetic Disorders of the Airways

Summary: The overall short-term goals of this project include the following: 1) identify the genes that are key to the function of respiratory cilia to protect the normal lung; and 2) the effects of genetic mutations that adversely affect ciliary function and cause primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), which results in life-shortening lung disease. The long-term goal of this project is to develop better unders...

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesias: Identification of Specific Severity Criteria and Phenotype-genotype Correlation Study

Summary: Primary Ciliary Dyskinesias (PCD) are rare, autosomal recessive respiratory diseases, due to a defect in mucociliary clearance linked to abnormalities in the structure and/or function of the cilia. The variety of ciliary abnormalities identified reflects the genetic heterogeneity of PCDs. The thirty or so genes currently implicated explain the pathology in about half of the patients. PCDs are char...
