| Abstract: | X-linked laterality sequence (XLLS) consists of situs inversus, complex cardiac defects, and alterations in the development of the spleen. We describe a family in which two male cousins had XLLS with caudal manifestations. In our family, the obligate carrier females had uterine septum and hypertelorism, which may be gene carrier manifestations. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. |
