Zic family member 3 heterotaxy 1 (odd-paired homolog, Drosophila), also known as ZIC3, is a human gene.[1]

This gene encodes a member of the ZIC family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. This nuclear protein probably functions as a transcription factor in early stages of left-right body axis formation. Mutations in this gene cause X-linked visceral heterotaxy, which includes congenital heart disease and left-right axis defects in organs.[1]
