✦ Synopsis

with congenital conotruncal defects (Goldmuntz et al., 1993), in a few isolated cases of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) and truncus arteriosus (Johnson et al., 1997), and in velo-cardio-facial syndrome, in which VSDs and tetralogy of Fallot are common (Goldberg et al., 1993). The estimated 1 in 4000 incidence of chromosome 22q11 deletions (Driscoll et al., 1993), the previously reviewed data, and the experience of this case support the use of FISH prenatally when conotruncal heart defects or VSDs are seen by echocardiogram or ultrasound. Besides the diagnostic and counselling significance, this approach will allow for an unbiased comparison of prenatally and postnatally ascertained microdeletions of 22q11 that can be of predictive value.
