Description : A autosomal form of visceral heterotaxy, designated HTX3, has been mapped to chromosome
6q21. Heterotaxy ('heter' meaning 'other' and 'taxy' meaning 'arrangement'), or situs
ambiguus, is a developmental condition characterized by randomization of the placement
of visceral organs, including the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and stomach. The organs
are oriented randomly with respect to the left-right axis and with respect to one
another (Srivastava, 1997). Heterotaxy is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous
disorder. For a discussion of the genetic heterogeneity of visceral heterotaxy, see
HTX1 (306955).;
