Skeletal anomalies in patients with a 22q11.2 deletion are reported infrequently. We report the skeletal findings in 108 patients with a 22q11.2 deletion, of whom 37 (36%) had a skeletal anomaly. Twenty-two patients (20%) had anomalies of the limbs, 7 of the upper limb, including preaxial or postaxi
Since establishment of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), microdeletions in 22q11.2 were detectable in an increasing number of patients with DiGeorge anomaly, velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS, syn. Shprintzen syndrome) and conotruncalanomaly-face syndrome [Scambler et al., 1991;Carey et al.,
A well-known association exists between the presence of a chromosome 22q11 micro-deletion and conotruncal heart malformations. Recently, there has been an increased appreciation of the expanded clinical phenotype associated with this chromosome abnormality. We performed a medical record review to ev
We describe a patient with type I diabetes, clinical ®ndings consistent with velocardiofacial syndrome, and a chromosome 22q11.2 deletion. A nine-year-old boy presented with a history of polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, hyperglycemia, ketosis, serum insulin antibodies, and a low C-peptide level. H
