This study describes isolated persistent ductus arteriosus in three family generations. Autosomal dominant inheritance is suggested due to the high incidence of this congenital heart defect.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Genetics
Pediatric Medicine

Background:

Persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a congenital heart defect.
Familial occurrence of PDA suggests a genetic component.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a case of isolated PDA across three generations.
To investigate the inheritance pattern of PDA within this family.

Main Methods:

Case study of a single family.
Review of medical history and surgical outcomes.
Genetic inheritance pattern analysis.

Main Results:

Isolated persistent ductus arteriosus observed in three consecutive generations.
Surgical correction was performed in affected individuals.

The pattern is consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance.

Conclusions:

Isolated PDA may follow an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
Genetic counseling is important for families with a history of PDA.
Further research into the genetic basis of PDA is warranted.
