Abstract excerpt
Conotruncal anomaly face syndrome (CTAFS) was distinguished from velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) in a bind study, yet shared the finding of 22q11.2 deletions. This work has been extended to show that the 22q11.2 deletions in CTAFS greatly overlap those found in VCFS and many DiGeorge patients. The reason for dissimilar phenotypes with apparently similar 22q11.2 deletions is not yet known.
