## Communicated by Riccardo Fodde The 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome is the most frequent microdeletion syndrome in humans, yet its genetic basis is complex and is still not fully understood. Most patients harbor a 3-Mb deletion (typically deleted region [TDR]), but occasionally patients with atypi

A newborn boy with complex congenital heart disease, unilateral renal agenesis, and hypocalcemia was found to have a submicroscopic deletion of 22q11.2 (DiGeorge anomaly). In evaluating the pathogenesis of the hypocalcemia, repeatedly elevated or normal levels of parathyroid hormone were found, cons
entitled ''Co-occurrence of Chromosome 22q11.2 Microdeletion and Trisomy 21 Mosaicism.'' We thank the authors for their informative remarks about this association, but would like to point out that we definitely do not recommend investigating for chromosome 22q11.2 microdeletion (del22q11.2) in all c
We report on a case of duplication of the segment 22qll-12 due to a de novo duplication. Molecular cytogenetics studies demonstrated this to be a tandem duplication, flanked proximally by the marker D2224, a centromeric alpha satellite DNA repeat, and distally by D22S260, an anonymous DNA marker pro
