Velocardiofacial Syndrome Written by: Rosalie Goldberg, M.S. C.G.C. Genetic Counselor Human Genetics Program, Family Core Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome Institute, Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine Posted: May 9,1997 Velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) is a genetic condition commonly associated with cleft palate, cardiac malformations, severe speech problems and learning disabilities. VCFS, like many genetic disorders, may arise spontaneously as a new mutation, or may be inherited from an affected parent. The mutation causing VCFS is a deletion of genetic material on one of the two chromosome 22's. If the mutation is present in the parent, then that parent has a 50% chance of passing on the deletion to his or her children. This is called autosomal dominant inheritance. Ninety percent of patients with the 22q11.2 deletion have not inherited the deletion from either parent; in fact, the mutation is a new occurrence. We do not yet know how or why these spontaneous mutations occur. A laboratory test is available to look for 22q11 deletions. The test will be described below. The face of VCFS has a characteristic although not abnormal appearance. In a young child it is the nose and ears that direct the geneticist, cardiologist, otolaryngologist (ear doctor) or plastic surgeon to think of the syndrome. The diagnosis is suspected in newborns with a combination of congenital heart disease and cleft palate. Most often those youngsters have minor anomalies of the external ears as well as the heart and palate. Feeding problems with nasal regurgitation of milk are common. The most frequent heart problems seen in children with a deletion of chromosome 22q are interrupted aortic arch, truncus arteriosus, tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia, absent pulmonary valve syndrome, simple tetralogy of Fallot, conotruncal venticular septal defect and any congenital heart defect with absence of the thymus.

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.

Associated conditions Aside from cleft palate, there are up to 184 other anomalies commonly associated with VCFS, including heart defects, unique facial characteristics (elongated face, almond-shaped eyes, small ears, wide nose), speech and feeding problems, middle ear infections, and learning difficulties. Not all anomalies are present in the child, nor is any one anomaly present in all cases. The features with which the child is born do not get progressively worse over time. Inherited?
