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

✦ Synopsis
We report on a 14-month-old girl with bifid nasal tip and tetralogy of Fallot. Several similar patients have been described with CNS or eye abnormalities. Chromosome analysis with FISH, using Oncor DiGeorge probes, confirmed a submicroscopic deletion of 22q11. Many patients with Shprintzen (velo-cardio-facial) syndrome have a similar deletion with conotruncal cardiac defects and an abnormal nasal shape, suggesting that a gene in this area, possibly affecting neural crest cells, influences facial and other midline development.

## Abstract A newborn male had an interstitial deletion of 16q21–q22.1 accompanying tetralogy of Fallot associated with pulmonary atresia and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCA), dysmorphic craniofacial features, failure to thrive, and severe psychomotor developmental delay. When the d
