Alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins
At least four mutations in the FOXF1 gene have been identified in infants with alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACD/MPV). Some mutations change single protein building blocks (amino acids) used to make the FOXF1 protein. Other mutations insert or delete genetic material in the FOXF1 gene. These mutations result in an inactive protein that cannot regulate development, leading to abnormal formation of the pulmonary blood vessels. Affected infants with FOXF1 gene mutations usually also have gastrointestinal abnormalities.
