The causes of most laterality defects are not known, with variants in established genes accounting for &lt;20% of cases.

A total of 28 candidate variants (26 rare predicted-damaging variants and 2 hemizygous deletions) were identified, including variants in genes known to cause heterotaxy and primary ciliary dyskinesia (ACVR2B, NODAL, ZIC3, DNAI1, DNAH5, HYDIN, MMP21), and genes without a human phenotype association, but with prior evidence for a role in embryonic laterality or cardiac development. Sanger validation of the latter variants in probands and their parents revealed no de novo variants, but apparent transmitted heterozygous (ROCK2, ISL1, SMAD2), and hemizygous (RAI2, RIPPLY1) variant patterns. Collectively, these variants account for 7.1% of our study subjects. We also observe evidence for an excess burden of rare, predicted loss-of-function variation in PXDNL and BMS1- two genes relevant to the broader laterality phenotype. These findings highlight potential new genes in the development of laterality defects, and suggest extensive locus heterogeneity and complex genetic models in this class of birth defects.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1018-4813</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1476-5438</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1038/s41431-018-0307-z</identifier><identifier>PMID: 30622330</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: Nature Publishing Group</publisher><subject>Congenital defects ; Defects ; Embryogenesis ; Islet-1 protein ; Phenotypes ; Primary ciliary dyskinesia ; Smad2 protein ; Whole genome sequencing</subject><ispartof>European journal of human genetics : EJHG, 2019-04, Vol.27 (4), p.563-573</ispartof><rights>2019© European Society of Human Genetics 2019</rights><rights>European Society of Human Genetics 2019</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c493t-8bc4c6d25203e06fedf19c18fda07e67a9cbc9203567b41858148e65edfb64a03</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c493t-8bc4c6d25203e06fedf19c18fda07e67a9cbc9203567b41858148e65edfb64a03</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6460585/pdf/$$EPDF$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6460585/$$EHTML$$P50$$Gpubmedcentral$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,723,776,780,881,27903,27904,53770,53772</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30622330$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Li, Alexander H</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Hanchard, Neil A</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Azamian, Mahshid</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>D'Alessandro, Lisa C A</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Coban-Akdemir, Zeynep</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Lopez, Keila N</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Hall, Nancy J</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Dickerson, Heather</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Nicosia, Annarita</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Fernbach, Susan</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Boone, Philip M</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Gambin, Tomaz</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Karaca, Ender</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Gu, Shen</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Yuan, Bo</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Jhangiani, Shalini N</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Doddapaneni, HarshaVardhan</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Hu, Jianhong</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Dinh, Huyen</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Jayaseelan, Joy</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Muzny, Donna</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Lalani, Seema</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Towbin, Jeffrey</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Penny, Daniel</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Fraser, Charles</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Martin, James</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Lupski, James R</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Gibbs, Richard A</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Boerwinkle, Eric</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Ware, Stephanie M</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Belmont, John W</creatorcontrib><title>Genetic architecture of laterality defects revealed by whole exome sequencing</title><title>European journal of human genetics : EJHG</title><addtitle>Eur J Hum Genet</addtitle><description>Aberrant left-right patterning in the developing human embryo can lead to a broad spectrum of congenital malformations.
