Journal of medical genetics, 1997•jmg.bmj.comWe report on a neonate with deletion 22q11 (del22q11) presenting with facial dysmorphism,
ocular coloboma, congenital heart defect, urogenital malformations, and unilateral radial
aplasia. This malformation complex includes features frequently occurring in
velocardiofacial syndrome as well as findings described in the CHARGE and VACTERL
associations. To our knowledge, the present case is the first report of radial aplasia in
del22q11. This observation further supports and extends the clinical variability of del22q11.
