## Abstract There is an overwhelming evidence that children and adults with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) have a characteristic behavioral phenotype. In particular, there is a growing body of evidence that indicates an unequivocal association between 22q11.2DS and schizophrenia, especially
A 27 weeks' gestation fetus, evaluated because of polyhydramnios, was found by echocardiography to have an interrupted aortic arch type B. Because of the known association between this malformation and DiGeorge syndrome, an amniocentesis was performed. Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed a 2
22q11 deletion syndrome (22qDS) is due to microdeletions of chromosome region 22q11.2. Little is known about the phenotype of adults. We reviewed available case reports of adults (age โฅ18 years) with 22qDS and compared the prevalence of key findings to those reported in a large European survey of 22
