Turner syndrome and neuropsychological abnormalities: a review and case series.

Objective: The objective of this study was to establish the genotype-phenotype correlation between karyotype results and the neurological and psychiatric alterations presented in patients with Turner syndrome (TS).

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on the medical records of 10/140 patients with TS and neurophysiological abnormalities seen at a university hospital in southern Brazil. In addition, a literature review spanning the period from January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2023 was carried out using the PubMed and Virtual Health Library databases.

Congenital Heart Defects and 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome: A 20-Year Update and New Insights to Aid Clinical Diagnosis.

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are one of the most prevalent clinical features described in individuals diagnosed with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS).

A child with cat-eye syndrome and oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum phenotype: A discussion around molecular cytogenetic findings.

Cat eye syndrome (CES) is a rare chromosomal disorder that may be evident at birth. A small supernumerary chromosome is present, frequently has 2 centromeres, is bisatellited, and represents an inv dup(22)(q11) in those affected. It's known that the 22q11 region is associated with disorders involving higher and lower gene dosages.

Pseudohypoparathyroidism with Ectopic Calcification and 22q11 Deletion Syndrome: A Rare Case.

Ectopic calcification in soft tissue is associated with several disorders including pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP), which is characterized by resistance or nonresponse to parathyroid hormone (PTH) function. Association between PHP and 22q11DS, also known as DiGeorge syndrome, is rare, especially in children. We describe a newborn girl diagnosed with 22q11DS, presenting ectopic calcifications in soft tissue and suspicion of PHP.

Congenital Heart Defects and Dysmorphic Facial Features in Patients Suspicious of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome in Southern Brazil.

22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is considered one of the most frequently observed chromosomal abnormalities in association with congenital heart disease (CHD), which can also include some combination of other features.
