Abstract excerpt
Monozygotic twins with chromosome 22q11 microdeletions offer an ideal situation to observe the association of microdeletion and disrupted cardiovascular patterning. We report monozygotic twins concordant for 22q11.2 microdeletion but discordant for cardiovascular patterning. Both twins showed identical intracardiac defects including tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia. Nevertheless, their great vessel...
