Velo‐cardio‐facial syndrome (VCFS) is a congenital malformation syndrome with variable phenotypic features that has been associated with chromosomal microdeletion 22q11.2. Psychiatric disorders have been reported to be highly prevalent in individuals with this syndrome, and the objective of this study was to assess the nature and extent of psychopathology among individuals with VCFS. We studied 20 children and adolescents with 22q11 deletions determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Control subjects were 11 nondeleted siblings who were the closest age match to the affected subjects. Both affected and control subjects were assessed using two standardized psychiatric research instruments. The results of this study confirmed the high rate of psychiatric disorders among VCFS subjects (60% of our subjects). Of the specific types of disorders, only mood disorders were significantly more common among VCFS subjects compared to sibling controls, with eight VCFS subjects having mood disorders compared with none of the control subjects (P<0.02). Three affected subjects had schizotypal traits comorbid with a mood disorder. In addition, disruptive behavior disorders were frequently diagnosed among VCFS subjects. Using a dimensional measure of psychopathology, significant differences between VCFS subjects and sibling controls were found on three scales: ADHD (P<0.02), separation anxiety (P<0.02), and depression (P<0.01). VCFS subjects were achieving significantly less well academically and requiring significantly more special educational assistance than sibling controls. Follow‐up data were available on two subjects, both of whom had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Further research on psychopathology in VCFS may provide a model of how a specific genetic defect can lead to the development of psychiatric disorders. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Psychiatric disorders have been reported in over 10% of patients with velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) in long-term follow-up. To further explore the behavioral and psychiatric findings associated with VCFS in adulthood, detailed clinical histories of two patients—one with VCFS who developed a psychotic illness, and one with schizophrenia who was found to have dysmorphological features associated with VCFS—are described in the current report. The observed overlap of physical and psychiatric symptoms in these two patients suggests that VCFS and psychotic disorders may share a pathogenetic mechanism. This could be consistent with a contiguous gene model for VCFS and psychosis, suggesting chromosome 22q11 as a possible candidate region for genetic studies of schizophrenia. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Approximately 5% of children with neural tube defects (NTDs) have a congenital heart defect and/or cleft lip and palate. The cause of isolated meningomyelocele, congenital heart defects, or cleft lip and palate has been largely thought to be multifactorial. However, chromosomal, teratogenic, and single gene causes of combinations of NTDs with congenital heart defects and/or cleft lip and palate have been reported. We report on 3 patients with meningomyelocele, congenital heart defects, and 22q11 deletions. Two of the children had the clinical diagnosis of velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS); both also have bifid uvula. The third child had DiGeorge sequence (DGS). The association of NTDs with 22q11 deletions has not been reported previously. An accurate diagnosis of the 22q11 deletions is critical as this micro-deletion and its associated clinical problems is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait due to the inheritance of the deletion-bearing chromosome. We recommend that all children with NTDs and congenital heart defects, with or without cleft palate, have cytogenetic and molecular studies performed to detect 22q11 deletions. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Velo-cardio-facial. (VCFS) or Shprintzen syndrome is associated with deletions in a region of chromosome 22q11.2 also deleted in DiGeorge anomaly and some forms of congenital heart disease. Due to the variability of phonotype, the evaluation of the incidence of deletions has been hampered by uncertainty of diagnosis. In this study, 54 patients were diagnosed with VCFS by a single group of clinicians using homogeneous clinical criteria independent of the deletion status. Cell lines of these patients were established and the deletion status evaluated for three loci within the commonly deleted region at 22q11.2 using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). In 81% of the patients all three loci were hemizygous. In one patient we observed a smaller interstitial deletion than that defined by the three loci. The phenotype of this patient was not different from that observed in patients with larger deletions. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

We describe a Japanese girl with Bernard-Soulier syndrome and 22q11.2 microdeletion. She had viral infections and recurrent thrombocytopenia and hemorrhagic diathesis after cardiac surgery. As congenital heart defects and abnormal immunity are the most common clinical manifestations associated with 22q11.2 deletion, patients with this association may have a greater risk of developing a severe bleeding disorder. 相似文献

Microdeletions in the 22q11 region are associated with a wide range of overlapping phenotypes. The main manifestations of the syndrome include palatal anomalies such as cleft palate or velopharyngeal insufficiency, conotruncal heart defects, hypocalcemia, immune disorders, and minor facial anomalies. Because of the wide variability, facial changes appear to be the most constant manifestation of the syndrome and characteristic for informed physicians. The purpose of this study is to report the preliminary results of a detailed analysis of anthropometric data (35 measurements) in 15 patients (7 females and 8 males between 5 and 38 years of age, all white Europeans) with a 22q11 microdeletion. Objective anthropometric study showed that 19 measurements and 7 indexes were significantly different between 22q11 patients and normative database. The typical face showed a short forehead with an anterior vertical excess. Downslanting eyes and large binocular width were the most common anomalies in the orbital area. The nose showed anomalies with a large root, a short tip, and a narrow alar base. There was a narrowing of the mouth and thin lips. Ears were small and slightly disharmonic for the children. Statistical comparison between children (10 cases) and adults (5 cases) showed that craniofacial assessment was more demonstrative in children than in adults. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss. Inc. 相似文献

Individuals with 22q11.2 microdeletions have cognitive deficits and a high risk of developing schizophrenia. Here we provide evidence that primary hippocampal neurons from a mouse model of 22q11.2 deletion (Df(16)A(+/-) mice) have decreased density of dendritic spines and glutamatergic synapses, as well as impaired dendritic growth. These deficits were prevented by introduction of the enzymatically active ZDHHC8 palmitoyltransferase encoded by a gene in the 22q11.2 locus, and they were also observed in primary cultures from Zdhhc8-deficient mice. Many of these deficits were also present in the hippocampi of adult Df(16)A(+/-) and Zdhhc8-deficient mice. Finally, we provide evidence that PSD95 is one of the substrates of ZDHHC8. Our analysis reveals that 22q11.2 microdeletion results in deficits in neuronal development and suggests that impaired neuronal protein palmitoylation contributes to many of these deficits. 相似文献

Velo-cardio-facial syndrome is a developmental disorder characterized by heart defects, specific facial features, cleft palate and learning disability. Most patients have a 3-Mb deletion in chromosomal region 22q11.2. This microdeletion has also been found in patients with isolated conotruncal malformations. Although no significant ethnic variability has been reported in the frequency 22q11.2 deletions, some recent studies question the high frequency of this as the underlying cause of velo-cardio-facial syndrome in Anglo-American populations. A screening program was initiated, including a detailed clinical assessment, followed by fluorescence in situ hybridization studies for microdeletion 22q11.2 in 24 children with congenital cardiac malformations referred consecutively to our genetics clinic. We found a high ratio of associated findings including cleft palate and developmental delay in our patient group. The clinical diagnosis of velo-cardio-facial syndrome was established in 8 patients. However, the common deletion was detected in only two children. We conclude that, although the 'velo-cardio-facial phenotype' appears to be common in Hungarian children with congenital cardiac malformations, many patients may have different etiologies other than del(22)(q11.2). 相似文献

Analyses of the associations between the genes of 22q11 deletion syndrome and schizophrenia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Schizophrenia is a severe, debilitating mental disorder characterized by profound disturbances of cognition, emotion and social functioning. The lifetime morbid risk is surprisingly uniform at slightly less than 1% across different populations and different cultures. The evidence of genetic risk factors is our strongest clue to the cause of schizophrenia. Linkage and association analyses have identified genes associated with the development of schizophrenia. However, most of the alleles or haplotypes identified thus far have only a weak association or are reported to be population specific. A deletion of 22q11.2 that causes the most common microdeletion syndrome (22q11DS) with an estimated prevalence of 1:2,500–1:4,000 live births may represent one of the greatest known genetic risk factors for schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a late manifestation in approximately 30% of patients with 22q11.2 deletion, comparable to the risk to offspring of two parents with schizophrenia. Clinical and neuroimaging assessments indicate that 22q11DS-schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental model of schizophrenia. Recent studies have provided evidence that haploinsufficiency of TBX1 is likely to be responsible for many of the physical features associated with the deletion. Most of the genes in the 22q11 deletion region are conserved together on mouse chromosome 16, enabling the generation of mouse models. Similarities in the cardiovascular and other phenotypes between 22q11DS patients and mouse models can provide important insights into roles of genes in neurobehavioral phenotypes. Because more than one gene in the 22q11DS region is likely to contribute to the marked risk for schizophrenia, further extensive studies are necessary. Analyses of 22q11DS will help clarify the molecular pathogenesis of schizophrenia. 相似文献

Non-allelic homologous recombination between chromosome-specific LCRs is the most common mechanism leading to recurrent microdeletions and duplications. To look for locus-specific differences, we have used microsatellites to determine the parental and chromosomal origins of a large series of patients with de novo deletions of chromosome 7q11.23 (Williams syndrome), 15q11-q13 (Angelman syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome) and 22q11 (Di George syndrome) and duplications of 15q11-q13. Overall the majority of rearrangements were interchromosomal, so arising from unequal meiotic exchange, and there were approximately equal numbers of maternal and paternal deletions. Duplications and deletions of 15q11-q13 appear to be reciprocal products that arise by the same mechanisms. The proportion arising from interchromosomal exchanges varied among deletions with 22q11 the highest and 15q11-q13 the lowest. However, parental and chromosomal origins were not always independent. For 15q11-q13, maternal deletions tended to be interchromosomal while paternal deletions tended to be intrachromosomal; for 22q11 there was a possible excess of maternal cases among intrachromosomal deletions. Several factors are likely to be involved in the formation of recurrent rearrangements and the relative importance of these appear to be locus-specific. 相似文献

We present a family with an unusual association of two frequent genetic disorders, 22q11.2 microdeletion and fragile X syndrome, originating from the same parent. Our observation confirms the wide intrafamilial clinical variability of the 22q11.2 microdeletion and illustrates the difficulty of the clinical diagnosis for the fragile X syndrome in affected females. 相似文献
