Heterotaxy in southern Nevada: prenatal detection and epidemiology.

We retrospectively analyzed a combination of prenatally detected and postnatally diagnosed patients with heterotaxic situs that included those with situs inversus, bilateral left-sidedness, and bilateral right-sidedness for the period between April 2002 and July 2014. We found a statistically higher prevalence in the Hispanic population of Southern Nevada of 2.7/10,000 live births (95 % confidence intervals of 1.7-3.9) versus the non-Hispanic population of 1.6/10,000 live births (95 % confidence intervals of 1.1-2.1), p = 0.04. Additionally, we noted a high prenatal detection rate of 68 % over the 12-year period of time, rising to 100 % over the last 2 years.
