Abstract

A fetus harboring a duplication of SMAD2 exons 1-6 presented with dextrocardia and pulmonary hypoplasia. Mate-pair sequencing revealed the duplication to be in inverted tandem orientation to the wild-type SMAD2 allele, disrupting its sequence and decreasing expression. These observations suggest SMAD2 to be responsible for the fetal dextrocardia.
