Abstract

Genomic rearrangements of chromosome 22q11.2, including the microdeletion associated with DiGeorge/velocardiofacial syndrome, are mediated by nonallelic homologous recombination between region-specific low-copy repeats. To date, only a small number of patients with 22q11.2 microduplication have been identified. We report the identification by array-comparative genomic hybridization of 14 individuals from eight families who harbor microduplications within the 22q11.2 region. We have now observed a variety of microduplications, including the typical common approximately 3-Mb microduplication, approximately 1.5-Mb nested duplication, and smaller microduplications within and distal to the DiGeorge/velocardiofacial syndrome region, consistent with nonallelic homologous recombination using distinct low-copy repeats in the 22q11.2 DiGeorge/velocardiofacial syndrome region. These microduplications likely represent the predicted reciprocal rearrangements to the microdeletions characterized in the 22q11.2 region. The phenotypes seen in these individuals are generally mild and highly variable; familial transmission is frequently observed. These findings highlight the unbiased ability of array-comparative genomic hybridization to identify ...Continue Reading

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.
