Abstract

A maternally inherited 828 kb microdeletion of 2q37.3 manifested in a 3-week-old premature boy as left juxtaposition of the atrial appendages associated with tricuspid atresia, double outlet infundibulum, subvalvar pulmonary atresia, large secundum atrial septal defect, and right aortic arch with mirror-image branching, consistent with developmental arrest early in heart looping. To the best of our knowledge, no previous 2q37 deletion syndrome has been reported with such a severe cardiac dysmorphology. Hence, this case adds to the cardiac phenotypes identified in 2q37 deletion syndrome.
