2024年1月13日 · DiGeorge syndrome, also known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, is a condition caused when a small part of chromosome 22 is missing. This deletion causes several body systems to develop poorly. The term 22q11.2 deletion syndrome covers terms once thought to be different conditions.

1999年9月23日 · 22q11.2DS is an autosomal dominant contiguous gene deletion syndrome. In 22q11.2DS caused by a 3.0 (2.54)-Mb deletion, the deletion is de novo in more than 90% of individuals and inherited from a heterozygous parent in about 10% of individuals.

22q11.2 deletion syndrome is a disorder that involves many different areas of the body and can vary greatly in severity among people with the condition. Signs and symptoms may include: cleft palate, heart defects, recurrent infections, unique facial characteristics, feeding problems, kidney abnormalities, hypoparathyroidism, thrombocytopenia ...

DiGeorge syndrome is caused by a heterozygous deletion of part of the long arm (q) of chromosome 22, region 1, band 1, sub-band 2 (22q11.2). Approximately 80-90% of patients have a deletion of 3 Mb and 8% have a deletion of 1.5Mb.

22q11.2 deletion is a chromosomal difference that may or may not "run in the family" (meaning it's hereditary). The condition is present in approximately one out of every 2,000 to 4,000 live births, and in 5-8 percent of children born with cleft palate.

DiGeorge syndrome, also known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, is a genetic condition that can affect many parts of your body and causes heart abnormalities, an impaired immune system and developmental delays.

22q11.2 deletion syndrome (which is also known by several other names, listed below) is a disorder caused by the deletion of a small piece of chromosome 22. The deletion occurs near the middle of the chromosome at a location designated q11.2.

2024年1月13日 · A diagnosis of DiGeorge syndrome (22q11.2 deletion syndrome) is based primarily on a lab test that can detect the deletion in chromosome 22. Your child's healthcare professional likely will order this test if your child has: A mix of medical problems or conditions suggesting 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.

DiGeorge syndrome is caused by a problem with a person's genes, called 22q11 deletion. It is not usually passed on to a child by their parents, but it is in a few cases. It's often diagnosed soon after birth with a blood test to check for the genetic fault.
