31
Incidence 1:4000 livebirths M = F
5-10% deletions inherited (mat>pat) > 80 associated medical problems
32
Major Features Characteristic facial appearance 100%
Learning difficulties – 90% Congenital heart disease 74% Immune deficiency % Palatal problems % Low calcium levels % Kidney problems %
33
Minor Features Hearing loss (conductive and sensorineural)
Feeding problems Laryngotracheoesophageal anomalies Short stature (+/- GH deficiency) Autoimmune disorders Seizures Skeletal problems
34
Characteristic Facies
Long face Hooded eyelids Prominent nasal root Short palpebral fissures Maxillary hypoplasia Bulbous nasal tip Myopathic facies
35
Characteristic Facies
‘Squared off’ helix Small Overfolding

37
TBX1 > 20 T-box genes Important for the development of organs of the developing baby during pregnancy Alterations or absence can result in problems especially with the structure of the heart
38
Cardiac Defects Tetralogy of Fallot 22% Interrupted aortic arch 15%
VSD % Truncus arteriosus 7% Vascular ring 5% ASD % Aortic arch anomaly 4% VSD/ASD 4% Other %
39
Early Development Branchial arch/ Pharyngeal pouch Thymus Parathyroids
Branchial arch arteries Face
40
Immune Function Reduced cells of thymic lineage Improves with age
Severe immunodeficiency is extremely rare Impaired T-cell production 67% Impaired T-cell function 19% Humoral defects 23% IgA deficiency 13%
41
Parathyroid Function Hypocalcaemia 30% Often asymptomatic
Improves with age Intermittent recurrences
