Abstract:Background. Ectopia cordis (EC) is a rare anomaly characterized by abnormal heart positioning. The exact etiology remains unknown, is likely to be associated with genetic and environmental factors. The introduction of an array-based comparative genomic hybridization (a-CGH) test has broadened our understanding of the genetic basis of many fetal anomalies, providing a more precise characterization of imbalances and allowing the comparison of the phenotype with other patients displaying imbalances in the same re… Show more
