The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is a recognizable pattern of physical and developmental features associated with a missing piece of genetic material from chromosome 22. The condition is sometimes referred to as velo-cardio-facial or DiGeorge syndrome. The effects of the deletion can include a variety of physical findings, such as heart problems, cleft palate, immune deficiency, and a characteristic facial appearance. In addition, many people with the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome show a spectrum of developmental issues, including learning, social, and emotional differences.
