The syndrome, caused by a sporadic or autosomally inherited microdeletion on chromosome 22q, can result in a broad spectrum of abnormalities, Dr. Aubrey Milunsky said at a conference on obstetrics, gynecology, perinatal medicine, neonatology, and the law. These abnormalities include subtle dysmorphic features of a long and narrow face, flat cheeks, and minor ear anomalies. Other conditions associated with the syndrome include cleft palate, speech defects, developmental delay, mental retardation congenital cardiac defects, and psychiatric disorders. Women with a cluster of these conditions in their family history warrant prenatal genetic counseling for possible testing using a technique called fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), said Dr. Milunsky, professor of human genetics, pediatrics, ob.gyn., and pathology at Boston University.

Please if anyone knows : anything about the prognosis let me : know thanks! : Kendra Hi Kendra, My name is Sherry. I am guessing you have a little one that is recently diagnosed with VCFS? I have a son that is 23 with it and I am also in the process of writing a comprehensive handbook for parents that will answer most of the general basic questions you may ask. Feel free to email me and I would be happy to answer any question that I can....I am also still open for personal stories to anyone who wants to comtribute to the book. The dead line is Christmas. I truly hope you get the answers you need for right now....there is no definite answers for anything at this point. It depends on the degree of disability of the child. warm regards

MGZ - Munich - Analyses About us Analyses Who is who Contacts ... Address Velocardiofacial Syndrome (VCFS, Shrpintzen Syndrome) Clinical Features The indications are similar to those of DiGeorge syndrome. T-cell defects are not prominent, but have been described. Other features are cleft or raised palate with separated uvula, heart defects (ventriclular septal defect), retardation of speech development with learning difficulties and behavioural disturbances, facial dysmophia (small palpebral fissure, bulbous nose, hypocalcaemia, arrhinocephaly, renal aplasia and skeletal malformations. Genetics VCFS is caused by a microdeletion in the long arm of Chromosome 22 (22q11.2), and leads to a partial monosomy which is demonstrable in approximately 70% of the patients. As with other microdeletion syndromes only isolated cases occur although families do exist with several affected members. The inheritance pattern shows dominant inheritance with varying degrees of expression. Frequency VCFS 1:10.000 to 1:20.000 Partial monosomy 22q11.2 1:5000
