Clinical Description OMIM Edelmann et al. (1999) described a 4-year-old girl with failure to thrive, marked hypotonia, sleep apnea, and seizure-like episodes in infancy, who later showed delay of gross motor development with poor fine motor skills, velopharyngeal insufficiency, and a ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews 22q11.2 duplication is a recently described condition, with the first report appearing in 2003 [Ensenauer et al 2003, Hassed et al 2004, Yobb et al 2005]. It is not detectable by routine G-banded karyotyping. Most individuals with 22q11.2 duplication are identified either by array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) testing or by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) testing for 22q11.2 deletion syndrome [Stachon et al 2007]....
Clinical Description GeneReviews Findings in individuals with 22q11.2 duplication range from apparently normal to intellectual disability/learning disability, delayed psychomotor development, growth retardation, and/or hypotonia. ...
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews Given the limited data and difficulties in establishing whether and to what extent a 22q11.2 duplication modifies phenotype, it is not possible to determine whether there is a predictable difference between the larger recurrent duplication (3 Mb) and the smaller recurrent duplication (1.5 Mb). An individual with the smaller duplication is described in the paper by Alberti et al [2007]....
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews The most common findings in duplication 22q11.2 – intellectual disability/learning disability, delayed psychomotor development, growth retardation, and muscular hypotonia – are common and relatively nonspecific indications for cytogenetic analysis; the extent to which duplication 22q11.2 is a cause for this group of findings in any individual is currently unknown. ...
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with 22q11.2 duplication, the following are recommended:...
