Diagnosis can be difficult, but genetic testing can be done if DiGeorge syndrome is suspected, and certain blood tests looking at T cell numbers and function, calcium, and parathyroid hormone can also be helpful. Because the syndrome is due to a genetic deletion, there’s no known cure, though many of the symptoms can be treated or managed ...
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 gene is located within the minimal DGS critical region ...
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).
The DGCR2 gene encodes the protein integral membrane protein DGCR2/IDD in humans. [5] [6] [7]Deletions of the 22q11.2 have been associated with a wide range of developmental defects (notably DiGeorge syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome and isolated conotruncal cardiac defects) classified under the acronym CATCH 22.
Thymus transplantation is used to treat infants with DiGeorge syndrome, which results in an absent or hypoplastic thymus, in turn causing problems with the immune system's T-cell mediated response. It is used in people with complete DiGeorge anomaly, which are entirely athymic. This subgroup represents less than 1% of DiGeorge syndrome patients ...

The diagnosis can also be made prior to birth via ultrasound. [3] Patients will have a loss of appetite, appear tired and weak, and exhibit rapid breathing and a rapid heart rate . [ 5 ] If the condition progresses, the infant may turn pale, feel cold in the lower half of the body, and have a weak pulse due to insufficient blood flow. [ 5 ]
