STS Congenital Heart Surgery Database Data Specifications Version 3.22 This Document Current As Of: Friday, May 24, 2013 STS Congenital Heart Surgery Database Data Specifications Version 3.22 This document current as of: Friday, May 24, 2013 Note: - ALL fields defined in these specifications with "Core: Yes" are to be collected by all sites. - A Data Collection Form must be created for each operation. - Fields indicated with a gray background are no longer being collected. STS Congenital Heart Surgery Database Version: 3.22 Long Name: Participant ID SeqNo: 10 Short Name: ParticID Core: Yes Section Name: Administrative Harvest: Yes DBTableName Operations Definition: Participant ID is a unique number assigned to each database participant by the STS. A database participant is defined as one entity that signs a Participation Agreement with the STS, submits one data file to the harvest, and gets back one report on their data. The participant ID must be entered into each record. Each participant's data, if submitted to harvest, must be in one data file. If one participant keeps their data in more than one file (e.g., at two sites), then the participant must combine them back into one file for harvest submission. If two or more participants share a single purchased software, and enter cases into one database, then the data must be extracted into two different files, one for each participant ID, with each record having the correct participant ID number.

  • A Human Laterality Disorder Associated with a Homozygous WDR16 Deletion
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2015) 23, 1262–1265 & 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1018-4813/15 www.nature.com/ejhg SHORT REPORT A human laterality disorder associated with a homozygous WDR16 deletion Asaf Ta-Shma*,1,3, Zeev Perles1,3, Barak Yaacov2, Marion Werner2, Ayala Frumkin2, Azaria JJT Rein1 and Orly Elpeleg2 The laterality in the embryo is determined by left-right asymmetric gene expression driven by the flow of extraembryonic fluid, which is maintained by the rotary movement of monocilia on the nodal cells. Defects manifest by abnormal formation and arrangement of visceral organs. The genetic etiology of defects not associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia is largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the cause of situs anomalies, including heterotaxy syndrome and situs inversus totalis, in a consanguineous family. Whole-exome analysis revealed a homozygous deleterious deletion in the WDR16 gene, which segregated with the phenotype. WDR16 protein was previously proposed to play a role in cilia-related signal transduction processes; the rat Wdr16 protein was shown to be confined to cilia-possessing tissues and severe hydrocephalus was observed in the wdr16 gene knockdown zebrafish. The phenotype associated with the homozygous deletion in our patients suggests a role for WDR16 in human laterality patterning. Exome analysis is a valuable tool for molecular investigation even in cases of large deletions.

  • Heterotaxy and Complex Structural Heart Defects in a Mutant Mouse Model of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
    Heterotaxy and complex structural heart defects in a mutant mouse model of primary ciliary dyskinesia Serena Y. Tan, … , Linda Leatherbury, Cecilia W. Lo J Clin Invest. 2007;117(12):3742-3752. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI33284. Research Article Development Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder associated with ciliary defects and situs inversus totalis, the complete mirror image reversal of internal organ situs (positioning). A variable incidence of heterotaxy, or irregular organ situs, also has been reported in PCD patients, but it is not known whether this is elicited by the PCD- causing genetic lesion. We studied a mouse model of PCD with a recessive mutation in Dnahc5, a dynein gene commonly mutated in PCD. Analysis of homozygous mutant embryos from 18 litters yielded 25% with normal organ situs, 35% with situs inversus totalis, and 40% with heterotaxy. Embryos with heterotaxy had complex structural heart defects that included discordant atrioventricular and ventricular outflow situs and atrial/pulmonary isomerisms. Variable combinations of a distinct set of cardiovascular anomalies were observed, including superior-inferior ventricles, great artery alignment defects, and interrupted inferior vena cava with azygos continuation. The surprisingly high incidence of heterotaxy led us to evaluate the diagnosis of PCD. PCD was confirmed by EM, which revealed missing outer dynein arms in the respiratory cilia. Ciliary dyskinesia was observed by videomicroscopy. These findings show that Dnahc5 is required for the specification of left-right asymmetry and suggest that the PCD-causing Dnahc5 mutation may also be associated with heterotaxy.

  • Imperforate Anus Associated with Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return in Scimitar Syndrome
    Aklilu et al. BMC Pediatrics (2019) 19:296 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12887-019-1643-z CASEREPORT Open Access Imperforate anus associated with anomalous pulmonary venous return in scimitar syndrome. Case report from a tertiary hospital in Ethiopia Tamirat Moges Aklilu1* , Messele Chanie Adhana2 and Azmeraw Gissila Aboye3 Abstract Background: Scimitar syndrome is a rare form of partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage associated with pulmonary hypertension and congestive heart failure that may lead to death in the newborn infant. Although it is described with anomalies of the lung, heart and their vascular structure, extremely rare association with imperforate anus had been reported. The third case of Scimitar syndrome and imperforate anus will be reported in this case report. Case presentation: A 3 days old male neonate with imperforate anus presented with abdominal distention. Loop colostomy was done to relieve abdominal distension. The chest x-ray revealed a curved shadow on the right mid lung zone extending to the diaphragm abutting and indenting the inferior vena cava (scimitar sign). Abdominal ultrasound, transthoracic echocardiography and computerized tomographic angiography confirmed the presence of Scimitar vein and associated dextro-position of the heart, hypoplastic right lung, hypoplastic right pulmonary artery, secundum atrial septal defect with bidirectional shunt, patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary hypertension, left superior vena cava, and systemic collateral arteries feeding the lower lobe of the right lung. The rare association of scimitar syndrome with imperforate anus is discussed. Conclusion: Scimitar syndrome associated with imperforate anus with and without VACTERL association has been reported previously only in four cases. The knowledge of association between imperforate anus and Scimitar syndrome helps for early detection and management of cases.
