We read with interest the paper by Leana-Cox et al. [1996] which reported on 5 families with recurrent Di-George/velocardiofacial syndrome and deletions of chromosome 22q11 (del22q11), and which reviewed the pertinent literature. The authors observed that up to 25% of del22q11 are inherited. Particu

✦ Synopsis
Ebstein anomaly (EA) is a relatively uncommon congenital heart defect and it is very rarely associated with a chromosomal anomaly. We report two distinct rearrangements of the chromosomal region 11q arm in two unrelated patients with Ebstein anomaly, renal malformation, minor anomalies, and the Pierre Robin sequence. The first patient had an interstitial deletion of chromosome 11 [46,XY,del(11)(11q21q23), and the other had a tertiary trisomy of chromosome 11qter (47,XX,+der(22)t(11;22)(q23; q11.2) Its association with either a chromosome 11q deletion or a duplication in some individuals suggests that a rearrangement of the 11q region is likely to cause a shift of the individuals' underlying liability to develop EA above a certain threshold.

Most deletions are terminal encompassing as much as 36 Mb, but interstitial deletions have also been reported. We have evaluated 42 subjects with deletions of 18q at our institution. This is the largest number of individuals with this chromosome abnormality studied by one group of investigators. Her
An epidemiological analysis of the association of polydactyly with other congenital anomalies was performed in 5,927 consecutively born polydactyly cases.

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
