  1. X-linked visceral Heterotaxy: X-linked visceral heterotaxy type 1 is a very rare form of heterotaxy that has only been reported in a few families. Heterotaxy is the right/left transposition of thoracic and/or abdominal organs . This condition is caused by mutations in the ZIC3 gene , is inherited in an X-linked recessive fashion , and is usually seen in males.Physical features include heart abnormalities such as dextrocardia , transposition of great vessels , ventricular septal defect , patent ductus arteriosus , pulmonic stenosis ; situs inversus, and missing (asplenia) and/or extra spleens (polysplenia).Affected individuals can also experience abnormalities in the development of the midline of the body, which can cause holoprosencephaly , myelomeningocele , urological anomalies, widely spaced eyes (hypertelorism), cleft palate , and abnormalities of the sacral spine and anus. Heterotaxia with recurrent respiratory infections are called primary ciliary dyskinesia .
