NCIt related terms : DiGeorge Sequence; 22q11 deletion; Shprintzen Syndrome; CATCH-22; DiGeorge syndrome; DiGeorge Syndrome Type 1; FACES; DGS1; 22q Deletion Syndrome(s);
NCIt definition : A congenital anomaly characterized by immunodeficiency, abnormal facies, congenital
heart disease, hypocalcemia, and increased susceptibility to infections. Pathologic
characteristics include conotruncal abnormalities and absence or hypoplasia of thymus
and parathyroid glands. DiGeorge syndrome is associated with abnormalities of chromosome
22. Also known as DiGeorge anomaly.;
Alternative definition : NICHD: A group of phenotypically variable, mostly sporadic conditions caused by 1.5-
to 3.0-Mb hemizygous deletions of chromosome 22q11.2. Haploinsufficiency of the TBX1
gene encoding the transcription factor T-box 1 is believed responsible for most of
the physical findings. Clinical features may include cardiac anomalies, including
truncus arteriosus and tetralogy of Fallot, as well as other anomalies, including
micrognathia, thymic aplasia (with resultant immunodeficiency), cleft palate, and
hypoparathyroidism.; ACC/AHA: A congenital anomaly characterized by partial deletion of the long arm of
chromosome 22.;
