Abstract

To determine the frequency and expression of hypoparathyroidism and the factors of short stature in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome to optimize clinical care. Cross-sectional study of 39 patients 9.7 +/- 0.8 (2.5-20) years of age. The congenital abnormalities were cardiac defects in 33 of 39, thymus hypoplasia in 15 of 18 evaluated, and craniofacial dysmorphy in all; 15 patients (39%) had had one or more seizures. Before evaluation, 12 patients were hypocalcemic, with (n = 4) or without clinical manifestations, diagnosed before 1 month in 10 cases, at 3 months or 12 years in two others. At evaluation, 9 patients were hypocalcemic, 5 of 9 had been hypocalcemic, and 8 others had parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations low for their ionized calcium. One had high PTH without hypocalcemia and 2 were hypercalcemic. The values were below -2 SD at birth for weight and/or height in 26% of cases and at evaluation for height and body mass index in 23% and for insulin-like growth factor-I in 37%. Parathyroid function was abnormal in 27 of 39 (69%) patients. This was not diagnosed in the majority. Short stature was probably due to intrauterine growth restriction, underweight, and growth hormone deficiency, as suggested by low insulin-like growth...Continue Reading

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.
