Mexican Patients With Suspected 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome: Clinical Characterization and Molecular Findings by Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization and Multiplex Ligation‐Dependent Probe Amplification Open
Background The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is mostly caused by deletions of 3 and 1.5 Mb, referred to as typical deletions, although atypical deletions have also been reported. The commonest features are congenital heart disease,…

A paternal t(6;22)(q25.3;p12) leading to a deleted and satellited der(6) in a short‐lived infant Open
Background Non‐acrocentric satellited chromosomes mostly result from familial balanced insertions or translocations with p12 or p13 of any acrocentric. Although all non‐acrocentrics have been involved, only 12 instances of chromosome 6 inv…

22q11.2 deletion detected by <i>in situ</i> hybridization in Mexican patients with velocardiofacial syndrome-like features. Open
In our small sample about ~56% of the patients, regardless of the clinical diagnosis, had the expected 22q11.2 deletion. We remark the importance of early cytogenetic diagnosis in order to achieve a proper integral management of the patien…
