  • Title: 22q11 deletion syndrome and limb anomalies: report on two Brazilian patients.
    Author: Kokitsu-Nakata NM, Guion-Almeida ML, Richieri-Costa A.
    Journal: Cleft Palate Craniofac J; 2008 Sep; 45(5):561-6. PubMed ID: 18788865.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To report on two Brazilian patients with chromosome 22q11 deletion who presented with velopharyngeal insufficiency, congenital heart anomalies, developmental delay, and limb anomalies. The pattern of limb anomalies in these patients, which range from ectrodactyly to limb synostosis, is very uncommon in 22q11 deletion syndrome. CONCLUSION: These patients widen the spectrum of clinical signs of the 22q11 deletion syndrome and alert researchers to conduct additional investigation in patients with limb involvement with velopharyngeal insufficiency and/or cardiac anomalies, along with developmental delay.
