ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) to improve the understanding of the disease.Methods Twenty patients with 22q11.2 DS were enrolled from Children's Hospital of Fudan University between August 2008 and April 2014.Cytogenetic and molecular genetic methods included fluorescence in situ hybridization (10 cases),and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (10 cases).Age at the time of the diagnosis,sex and clinical manifestations were analyzed.Results The subject group consisted of 20 patients.Among them,13 cases (65%) were male and 7 cases (35%) were female.The median diagnostic age was 3.9 months.The presence of congenital heart diseases was identified in 17 patients (85%) and surgical correction was performed in 9 cases of them.The most frequent of complex congenital heart diseases were tetralogy of Fallot (20%) and pulmonary atresia (20%).Ten patients had varying degrees of T-cell immune function defects.Decrease in total lymphocytes and only CD8 counts were present in 45% and 5%,respectively.Hypogammaglobulinemia was not detected in any patient.Six eases with T-cell immune function defects were treated with thymosin,4 of which were followed up for months,and the prognosis was good.Hypocalcemia was detected in 6 patients (30%),3 of whom presented with hypocalcemic seizures and hypoparathyroidism.Craniofacial dysmorphisms were detected in 3 patients(15%),2 of them only presented with micrognathia.Otorhinolaryngologic abnormalities were found in 4 cases (20%),3 of whom had laryngeal abnormalities,one of whom had cleft palate.Psychomotor developmental delay was found in 9 cases.Conclusions Congenital heart defects,hypocalcemia and/or impaired immune function are diagnostic features for 22q1 1.2 deletion syndrome,and they should be considered for cytogenetic analysis.
