title: Blastogenesis dominant 1: a sequence with midline anomalies and heterotaxy.
abstract: Lateralization defect is a heterogeneous condition with different modes of transmission (autosomal recessive, dominant or X-linked). Here, we report on 3 additional families that contribute to the description of phenotypic anomalies of the autosomal dominant type. Phenotypic anomalies include: lateralization defects, cardiac malformations, diaphragmatic hernia, urologic and neurologic anomalies. We suggest calling this sequence BGD1 for blastogenesis dominant 1 because the deleterious effect probably occurs during blastogenesis and involves not only lateralization but other defects as well.
