Deletion Syndrome Chan Woo Lee
2
22q11.2 deletion syndrome 1p36 deletion syndrome
3
22q11.2 deletion syndrome Cause: deletion in a small portion of chromosome 22
4
22q11.2 deletion syndrome Symptoms: Varies hugely
Reason: depends on which portion of 22q11.2 you delete That is why it has many names: DiGeorge syndrome (DGS), DiGeorge anomaly, velo-cardio-facial syndrome, Shprintzen syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome,Strong syndrome, congenital thymic aplasia, and thymic hypoplasia
5
22q11.2 deletion syndrome The Symptoms: Congenital heart disease
Palatal abnormalities Learning difficulties Unique facial features Immune deficiency
6
22q11.2 deletion syndrome The Symptoms (less common): Hypocalcemia
Significant feeding and swallowing problems Renal anomalies Hearing loss Etc.
7
22q11.2 deletion syndrome Autosomal dominant
Not really an inherited disease deletion=chromosomal mutation mutation=random 10% chance of inheritance
8
22q11.2 deletion syndrome 1 in 4000 people
Symptoms don’t show up during “newborns” except external symptoms
9
22q11.2 deletion syndrome NO CURE Treat symptoms
(i.e. For Hypothermia, inject calcium gluconate or if severe, CaCl2 )
11
1p36 deletion syndrome Cause: a portion of Chromosome 1 is deleted
12
1p36 deletion syndrome Symptoms that you can see:
Small head that is short and wide Abnormal facial features Flat broad nose, ears that are rotated backward and shaped abnormally Seizures Behavioral problems Genital malformation (F)
13
1p36 deletion syndrome Internal Symptoms:
Learning disabilities (most cases) No ability to form words Heart disease Hearing problem Breathing problem Sight problem Swallowing problem Etc.
14
1p36 deletion syndrome Most cases no inheritance
Recently discovered, so not much information Affects 1 in 5000~10000 newborns Life expectancy: Depends on which portion of Chromosome 1 is deleted
15
1p36 deletion syndrome How is it inherited?
A parent will have translocation in his or her Chromosome 1 (doesn’t do much). When passed down, might lead to deletion of a portion of Chromosome 1. (20% chance)
16
1p36 deletion syndrome Unfortunately, currently no cure Treat symptoms
Learn sign language Therapy Medication to the problems
