    Heterotaxy is a rare birth defect that involves the arrangement and formation of internal organs. In this condition, the organs may be arranged in abnormal positions in the chest and abdomen. This can cause serious complications because the arrangement of organs may affect how they work. The manifestation and severity of heterotaxy can differ greatly from person to person.
