✦ Synopsis

Submicroscopic deletions of chromosome 22q11 have been reported in a multiple

anomaly syndrome variously labelled as velocardiofacial syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome, and Di George syndrome. Most 22q11 microdeletions occur sporadically, although in some cases the deletion may be transmitted. We describe two affected sibs with confirmed 22q11 deletions from unaffected parents who are not deleted. Haplotype analysis demonstrates that the deletion in the affected sibs has occurred on the same maternal chromosome 22. Furthermore, an unaffected sib was found to have inherited the same maternal haplotype at 22q11 in an undeleted form. This is the first molecular demonstration of germ line mosaicism for a microdeletion at chromosome 22q11 and highlights the need for caution in estimation of recurrence risks, even when constitutional deletions have been excluded on parental analysis.
