Overview

The exact pathogenesis of dextrocardia is not fully understood. The malposition is not as a result of any extracardiac abnormalities but intrinsic to the heart. It is as a result of embryological abnormalities that occur during the development of the heart. Genes involved in the pathogenesis of dextrocardia include: ZIC3, ACVR2B, NODAL.
