22q11.2 Deletion/Duplication Syndrome - FISH

Deletion of 22q11.2 leads to a wide variety of anomalies including congenital heart disease, palatal abnormalities, submucosal cleft palate and cleft palate, characteristic facial features and learning difficulties.

Additional findings include: hypocalcemia, significant feeding problems, renal anomalies, hearing loss (both conductive and sensorineural), laryngotracheoesophageal anomalies, growth hormone deficiency, autoimmune disorders, seizures (without hypocalcemia), and skeletal abnormalities.
