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

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
Genetic syndromes associated with deletions at chromosome 22q11 generally have been diagnosed during childhood based on a constellation of physical features. To investigate a reported association of velocardiofacial syndrome with psychotic disorders in adults, we assessed subjects with DSM-IV schizo
22q11 deletion syndrome (22qDS) is due to microdeletions of chromosome region 22q11.2. Little is known about the phenotype of adults. We reviewed available case reports of adults (age โฅ18 years) with 22qDS and compared the prevalence of key findings to those reported in a large European survey of 22
A microscopic deletion of chromosome 22q11.2 has been identified in most patients with the DiGeorge, velocardiofacial syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome, and in some patients with isolated conotruncal cardiac anomalies. This study presents the neurodevelopmental outcome, including cognitive
