Scimitar syndrome and anomalous left circumflex artery in siblings with familial myelin regulatory factor gene mutation

Scimitar syndrome in conjunction with congenital coronary artery anomalies is a rare combination. We describe two siblings with both Scimitar syndrome and an anomalous left circumflex artery from the pulmonary artery, who were both found to have a genetic mutation in the myelin regulatory factor gene. This represents the first familial association between this gene and this CHD combination.

Abstract

Scimitar syndrome in conjunction with congenital coronary artery anomalies is a rare combination. We describe two siblings with both Scimitar syndrome and an anomalous left circumflex artery from the pulmonary artery, who were both found to have a genetic mutation in the myelin regulatory factor gene. This represents the first familial association between this gene and this CHD combination.
