    No full text
    Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome presents cardiac defects similar to that observed in heterotaxia with spleen anomalies. Recent experimental studies on mice showed the Hedgehog signaling involved in Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome. This genetic pathway is also implicated in the pathogenesis of L–R axis specification and heterotaxia
