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%
Pulmonary atresia comprises only 1% of all congenital heart defects. Counseling the parents on recurrence risks is difficult. We present a rare case of pulmonary atresia in two sibs, along with a review of the literature.
