Any visceral heterotaxy in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the PKD1L1 gene.
Features include always present findings: Abdominal situs inversus, Hypoplastic left heart, and Ventricular septal defect; and common findings: Aortopulmonary collateral arteries, Atrial situs ambiguous, Dextrocardia, and Atrial situs inversus and others.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Heart and blood vessels | 5 | Atrial situs ambiguous, Hypoplastic left heart, Atrial situs inversus |
PKD1L1 function has not been fully characterized.
Heterotaxy, visceral, 8, autosomal is associated with mutations in the PKD1L1 gene on chromosome 7.
Genetic testing for PKD1L1 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 3 always present features, 9 common features.
