Kinds of Problems ... Resources What is velocardiofacial syndrome? Velocardiofacial Syndrome might be referred to by other names including Shprintzen Syndrome, Craniofacial Syndrome, or Conotruncal Anomaly Face Syndrome. The name Shprintzen Syndrome comes from physician Dr. Robert Shprintzen of the Center for Craniofacial Disorders, who, in 1978, described a series of 12 children with a cleft palate (incomplete closure of the roof of the mouth), heart defects (abnormalities of the heart from the time of birth) and similar facial characteristics. The name Velocardiofacial Syndrome comes from the Latin words "velum" meaning palate, "cardia" meaning heart, and "facies" having to do with the face thus incorporating the most common features of cleft palate, heart defects, and a characteristic facial appearance. Other common findings include minor learning problems and speech and feeding problems.

Shprintzen syndrome is an inherited condition caused by the deletion of a tiny part of the DNA in the long arm of chromosome 22. There's a range of conditions resulting from mutations in this area of chromosome 22, ranging from deletions that cause no obvious health problems to severe disruption of normal development (for example, in a condition known as DiGeorge syndrome Symptoms More than 180 different abnormalities have been described in the syndrome.

It is also called Shprintzen syndrome, DiGeorge syndrome, craniofacial syndrome, conotruncal anomaly unusual face syndrome, 22q11, and catch 22. 22q and You Newsletter This quarterly publication of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia also provides information about the history and medical needs of children with 22q.11 deletions. 22q11 Deletion Syndrome This GeneClinics page provides clinical information relating genetic testing to the diagnosis, management, and genetic counseling of individuals and families.

Velo-cardio-facial Syndrome (VCFS) VCFS is the most common cleft palate-associated syndrome. Characteristically, VCFS children have long faces, prominent jaws, flattened cheeks, underdeveloped lower jaws, bluish colors beneath the eyes, thin upper lip and down-slanting mouth and cleft palate. Affecting approximately 1:2-5,000 children, there is only a small chance (2-5%) that the condition will affect future offspring. Multiple heart abnormalities, learning disabilities, hearing loss, speech problems, and leg pain and behavior extremes may also be present. Cleft and lower jaw repairs and reconstructive ear surgeries are often required.

Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome (VCFS), also known as Shprintzen Syndrome, and sometimes presenting as the Di George Sequence, is caused by the deletion of a small segment of the long arm of chromosome 22 (specified as 22q11.2 deletion). VCFS is characterised by heart abnormalities, palatal problems causing speech difficulties, hearing problems and learning difficulties. Children with VCFS have similar facial characteristics although these are not always noticeable. In addition, there can be immune system deficiencies and psychological problems. In fact, there are over 180 anomalies which can be caused by the deletion. However, none occur with a 100% frequency and some persons may be affected very mildly whilst at the other end of the spectrum others may be severely affected. More often than not, the problems relating to VCFS are dealt with in isolation. Yet for the successful intervention and handling of VCFS a team approach is essential. Thus there is a need for VCFS to be acknowledged and recognized amongst the medical fraternity, speech therapists, educators and parents. We will therefore be producing a handbook and leaflets in due course. Should you know of any families affected by the syndrome please feel free to direct them to us. We will be happy to provide further information on request.
