X-linked laterality sequence in a family with carrier manifestations

Am J Med Genet. 1994 Feb 15;49(4):435-8. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320490417.

Abstract

X-linked laterality sequence (XLLS) consists of situs inversus, complex cardiac defects, and alterations in the development of the spleen. We describe a family in which two male cousins had XLLS with caudal manifestations. In our family, the obligate carrier females had uterine septum and hypertelorism, which may be gene carrier manifestations.
