DiGeorge syndrome, also known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, is a syndrome caused by a microdeletion on the long arm of chromosome 22. [7] While the symptoms can vary, they often include congenital heart problems, specific facial features, frequent infections, developmental disability, intellectual disability and cleft palate. [7]
The following conditions are caused by changes in the structure or number of copies of chromosome 22: 22q11.2 deletion syndrome: Most people with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome are missing about 3 million base pairs on one copy of chromosome 22 in each cell. The deletion occurs near the middle of the chromosome at a location designated as q11.2.
22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome is a rare genetic condition caused by a tiny missing part of one of the body's 46 chromosomes – chromosome 22. 22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome appears to be a recurrent genomic disorder distinct from 22q11.2 deletion syndrome also known as DiGeorge syndrome (DGS; 188400) and velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS; 192430).

22q13 deletion syndrome (Phelan–McDermid syndrome) [4] is a condition caused by the deletion of the tip of the q arm on chromosome 22. Most individuals with this disorder experience cognitive delays, low muscle tone, and sleeping, eating, and behavioural issues.
22q13 deletion syndrome, known as Phelan–McDermid syndrome (PMS), is a genetic disorder caused by deletions or rearrangements on the q terminal end (long arm) of chromosome 22. Any abnormal genetic variation in the q13 region that presents with significant manifestations ( phenotype ) typical of a terminal deletion may be diagnosed as 22q13 ...
There are known three molecular causes of Prader–Willi syndrome development. One of them consists in micro-deletions of the chromosome region 15q11–q13. 70% of patients present a 5–7-Mb de novo deletion in the proximal region of the paternal chromosome 15. The second frequent genetic abnormality (~ 25–30% of cases) is maternal ...
Twins in Poland with 22q11 microdeletion syndrome. A microdeletion syndrome is a syndrome caused by a chromosomal deletion smaller than 5 million base pairs (5 Mb) spanning several genes that is too small to be detected by conventional cytogenetic methods or high resolution karyotyping (2–5 Mb).
