We read with interest the paper by Becker et al. [1996] reporting the occurrence of congenital heart defect (CHD) in a large series of relatives of children with transposition of the great arteries (TGA). The overall recurrence risk of CHD in sibs of the probands was 0.82%, ranging from 0.27% to 2%

Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is the most common cyanotic cardiac malformation, representing 5-7% of all cardiac malformations. Previous estimates of the frequency of cardiac malformations in sibs of probands range from 0-1.7%. This study ascertained the frequency of congenital cardiac m
It has been reported that all-trans retinoic acid induces transposition of the great arteries (TGA) at 80-90% in ICR mice. The authors revealed that retinoic acid affects the initial formation of the conus cushions leading to a loss of spirality in the cardiac outflow tract. However, the aberrant pr
## Abstract Familial recurrence of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is considered uncommon. Most of the previous familial studies involved a small number of patients and referred to all situs and looping anomalies including single ventricle, heterotaxia, and other
We report on a new patient with d-transposition of the great arteries who was found to have deletion of 22q11.2. He had minor facial anomalies, normal T- and B-cell subsets, and transient hypocalcemia. Similar to rare previous reports, our patient's extracardiac manifestations were relatively mild.
