We identified 4 FOXA2 rare missense coding variants in 7 patients. None of these variants were observed in ESP; 2 were observed in the 1000 Genome Project (1000G) with a MAF<0.01, and 2 were not observed in 1000G. One of these variants appeared 3 times in exome sequencing of 100 patients with isolated BA and once through Sanger sequencing of 46 patients with syndromic BA with abdominal heterotaxy. The expression-altering NODAL polymorphism, rs1904589, is also shown with its corresponding inheritance pattern for each patient identified to have a rare, protein-altering FOXA2 variant.
