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 .

This syndrome is referred as "cat eye" due to the eye appearance of reported affected individuals who have coloboma of the iris, but this feature is only seen in about half of the cases. Mosaic trisomy 22 [ 7 ] is a disorder in which an extra chromosome 22 is found only in some cells of the body.
There is a 1.5-3.0 Mb deletion containing around 30-40 genes, spanning this region that causes the most survivable genetic deletion disorder known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, which is most commonly known as DiGeorge syndrome or Velocaridofacial syndrome.
