✦ Synopsis

We have studied two brothers with submicroscopic 22q11 deletion. One brother had findings suggestive of DiGeorge syndrome, while the other had milder anomalies, including polydactyly. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed a minor cell line with deletion 22q11 in the mother. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a deletion of 22q11 in two sibs with different phenotypes and apparent maternal mosaicism detected with FISH. This family illustrates the variability of the syndrome and further demonstrates the possibility of gonadal mosaicism for a microdeletion. Prenatal diagnosis may be offered after the birth of a child with a 22q11 deletion, even in the absence of parental chromosomal anomalies. Am.

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 ≥18 years) with 22qDS and compared the prevalence of key findings to those reported in a large European survey of 22

Skeletal anomalies in patients with a 22q11.2 deletion are reported infrequently. We report the skeletal findings in 108 patients with a 22q11.2 deletion, of whom 37 (36%) had a skeletal anomaly. Twenty-two patients (20%) had anomalies of the limbs, 7 of the upper limb, including preaxial or postaxi
