Introduction |
Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is a rare disease of unknown aetiology. We aimed to better understand familial recurrence pattern.
Methods |
An international, multicentre, retrospective cohort study was conducted in 29 tertiary hospitals in 6 countries between 1990 and 2018, leading to investigate 1043 unrelated ccTGA probands.
Results |
Atrioventricular block at diagnosis and laterality defects were observed in 35.4% and 29.9%, respectively. ccTGA associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia in 10 patients. Parental consanguinity was noted in 3.4% cases. A congenital heart defect was diagnosed in 81 relatives from 69 families, 58% of them being first-degree relatives, including 28 siblings. The most prevalent defects in relatives were dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA: 28.4%), laterality defects (13.6%) and ccTGA (11.1%); 36 new familial clusters were described, including 8 pedigrees with concordant familial aggregation of ccTGA, 19 pedigrees with familial co-segregation of ccTGA and d-TGA and 9 familial co-segregation of ccTGA and laterality defects. In one family there was co-segregation of ccTGA, d-TGA and heterotaxy syndrome in 3 distinct relatives.
Conclusion |
ccTGA is not always a sporadic congenital heart defect. Familial clusters as well as evidence of an association between ccTGA, d-TGA, laterality defects and in some cases primary ciliary dyskinesia strongly suggest a common pathogenetic pathway involving laterality genes in the pathophysiology of ccTGA.
