Abstract

Previous studies have indicated a wide spectrum of incidences of 22q11.2 deletions in isolated and syndromic (sporadic or familial) cases of conotruncal heart defects, whereby the detection rate of the deletion varied from 65% in one study to 0 in another. We analysed 110 patients with non-selective syndromic or isolated non-familial congenital heart malformations by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using the D22S75 DiGeorge chromosome (DGS) region probe. A 22q11.2 microdeletion has been detected in 9/51 (17.6%) syndromic patients. Five were of maternal origin and four of paternal origin. None of the 59 patients with isolated congenital cardiac defect had a 22q11.2 deletion. We compared the cardiac anomalies of our patients with a 22q11.2 deletion with those of previously published series and we describe types of congenital heart defects which appear to be often associated with a 22q11.2 deletion. The ability to detect such types of heart defects and to provide an early diagnosis of 22q11.2 deletion is particularly relevant in very young infants, who often show only very mild expression of the otherwise well-characterized phenotypes of the DiGeorge/velo-cardio-facial syndrome (DG/VCFS).

22q11 Deletion Syndrome

22q11.2 deletion syndrome, also known as DiGeorge syndrome, is a congenital disorder caused by a partial deletion of chromosome 22. Symptoms include heart defects, poor immune system function, a cleft palate, complications related to low levels of calcium in the blood, and delayed development.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
