We report the clinical findings in 44 cases. We propose that DiGeorge syndrome should be seen as the severe end of the clinical spectrum embraced by the acronym CATCH 22 syndrome; Cardiac defects, ...

DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) is caused by a chromosomal microdeletion at 22q11.2 that results in impaired development of the pharyngeal pouch system. Patients with DGS may have developmental abnormalities ...

Mice genetically engineered to mimic human DiGeorge syndrome provide clues to the genetic basis of this chromosomal deletion syndrome and question UFD1L as the sole candidate gene.

What Is 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (DiGeorge Syndrome)? 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is a genetic condition that some babies are born with. A genetic condition happens when there is a problem with a part ...

DiGeorge syndrome. Deleted and non-deleted cells. The chromosomes have been made fluorescent with probes that bind to specific sequences of DNA (fluorescence in situ hybridisation or FISH). There has ...

We report a case of a 3-year-old boy who presented with recurrent bacterial and fungal infections and a known diagnosis of partial DiGeorge (22q11.2 deletion) syndrome. The nature and severity of his ...

Backgound: Almost all cases of DiGeorge syndrome, velo-cardio-facial syndrome and conotruncal anomaly face syndrome result from a common deletion of chromosome 22q11.2. These syndromes are usually ...

It is sometimes called DiGeorge syndrome, which is really one type of disorder that 22q11.2 deletion syndrome can cause. This syndrome occurs when a small part of chromosome 22 is missing. Chromosomes ...

The DiGeorge anomaly (DGA) is occasionally associated with cellular immunodeficiency. We report a female infant diagnosed with complete DGA, who developed fatal, high grade, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma ...
