Issue of June 4, 1997 Syndrome group to meet at Stanford THE VELO-CARDIO-FACIAL SYNDROME Educational Foundation will hold its third annual meeting Friday, June 27, through Sunday, June 29, in Fairchild Auditorium. The syndrome, also known as Shprintzen syndrome and DiGeorge syndrome, is a genetic disorder that can lead to cleft palate, heart malformations, abnormal speech, learning disabilities, psychological problems and chronic childhood illnesses because of immune system dysfunction. Faculty from research institutions worldwide will present the latest findings on the syndrome and will address issues ranging from managing learning disabilities and feeding disorders to unraveling the genetic causes of the disorder. Opportunities for questions and discussions will be available. The meeting is open to anyone interested in velocardiofacial syndrome, including health care professionals, parents, researchers and patients. For information on the event, call Lucy Burke before Friday, June 20, at 365-8755 or e-mail andipat@ix.netcom.com

A genetic disorder characterized by the partial deletion of chromosome 22, 22q11 deletion syndrome is a variable, multisystem disorder. Found in about 1 of every 3,000 children, it is also known as 22q11, velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS), DiGeorge syndrome, or Shprintzen syndrome. Complications from 22q11 manifest themselves differently from child to child those affected may experience a few or many symptoms. These include cardiovascular disease, cleft palate, immune deficiencies and velopharyngeal incompetence (incomplete palate closure behind the nose) resulting in speech-language and/or swallowing difficulties. Children with 22q11 can also have characteristic facial features, kidney abnormalities, developmental delay, and psychological and behavioral complications. Because of its multiple and varying effects, 22q11 can be difficult to diagnose. Clinical suspicion is often confirmed through genetic testing by FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) on a blood sample. What causes it?

Health Matters All in the Mind The Buzz Earthbeat ... Quantum Velo Cardio Facial Syndrome - VCFS Broadcast Monday 28 October 2002 with Norman Swan Summary: VCFS is a common but mysterious genetic disorder. It's caused by the deletion of genetic material from the long arm of the chromosome 22 and is more common than Downs Syndrome. Transcript: Later this week in Queensland, a major international conference is taking place on a condition that many doctors may have never heard of. Yet it’s almost as common as Down’s syndrome. It’s just less obvious to the casual observer. Stephen Russell: The first time we thought there was something wrong with Amy was when she was a very young baby. Norman Swan: Stephen Russell is the parent of a child with this problem. Stephen Russell: She had difficulty feeding, she had nasal regurgitation of milk, whether taken from the breast or a bottle. The assistance we got was not tremendously helpful. We were treating her for reflux, which she didn’t have. It was indicative, as we later discovered, of the fact that she had a sub-mucous cleft palate and was unable to make a vacuum in her mouth cavity. Norman Swan: How long did it take to make that diagnosis?

DIGEORGE/VELOCARDIOFACIAL SYNDROME FISH ANALYSIS Open Page in New Window Print This Page Return to Search The Kleberg Cytogenetics Laboratory offers fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)-based assays for identifying the deletions of 22q associated with DiGeorge syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS), Shprintzen syndrome and isolated conotruncal cardiac defects, and deletions on 10p associated with the DiGeorge Syndrome II locus. The laboratory tests for both critical regions (10p13p14 and 22q11.2) using a dual-probe FISH assay. Clinical Features: The phenotypic features of DiGeorge syndrome consist of thymic aplasia or hypoplasia, hypocalcemia and conotruncal cardiac defects. Many patients die of cardiac complications or infections due to poor immunity. Velocardiofacial (Shprintzen) syndrome often presents with overt or submucous cleft palate, conotruncal defects, hypotonia, dysmorphic facies, developmental delay, small stature and velopharyngeal incompetence. Because of significant overlap of both syndromes, some clinicians refer to this syndrome as 22q11 deletion syndrome. There is significant inter- and intrafamilial clinical variability due to deletion of 22q11. A second deletion of 10p13p14 (DiGeorge Syndrome II) has been associated with similar clinical features.

What is DiGeorge syndrome? DiGeorge syndrome identified as a chromosomal microdeletion. This syndrome is typified by conotruncal congenital heart disease, facial abnormalities and endocrine and immune disorders. What is DiGeorge Syndrome? DiGeorge syndrome is characterized by a few specific cardiac malformations, a sub-set of facial attributes, and certain endocrine and immune anomalies. The cause of DiGeorge syndrome has been identified as a submicroscopic deletion of chromosome 22 in the DiGeorge chromosomal region. It is classified along with velo-cardio-facial syndrome (Shprintzen syndrome) and conotruncal anomaly face syndrome as a 22q11 microdeletion and is sometimes referred to by the simple name 22q11 syndrome. People with DiGeorge syndrome may have the following congenital heart lesions: tetralogy of Fallot, interrupted aortic arch type B, truncus arteriosus, aberrant left subclavian artery, right infundibular stenosis, or ventricular septal defect. 74% of patients with 22q11 syndrome have conotruncal malformations. 69% of patients are found to have palatal abnormalities including velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI), submucosal cleft palate, and cleft palate. Some of the facial characteristics of DiGeorge syndrome are bifid uvula, high-arched palate, small mouth and wide set eyes, down-slanting eyes, hooded eyes, long face, malar flatness, cupped low set ears, bulbous nasal tip, and a dimpled or bifurcated nasal tip. Not all people with a 22q11 microdeletion display all, or indeed, any, of these characteristics.
