We report on the case of a patient with a typical de novo 3 Mb 22q11.2 deletion. Haplotype reconstruction of the family, using polymorphic markers flanking the deleted region, demonstrated a complex mechanism of origin of the deletion, involving one intrachromosomal and two interchromosomal events.

We report on a new patient with d-transposition of the great arteries who was found to have deletion of 22q11.2. He had minor facial anomalies, normal T- and B-cell subsets, and transient hypocalcemia. Similar to rare previous reports, our patient's extracardiac manifestations were relatively mild.
Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion causes Di-George syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), and sporadic or familial TOF. To determine the prevalence and clinical importance of the 22q 11.2 deletion in TOF, a series of 212 Japanese TOF patients
