Neurogenic arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and velopharyngeal incompetence associated with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion.

We report a case of neurogenic arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and velopharyngeal incompetence in association with a chromosome 22q11.2 deletion in a 5-month-old boy, the only child of a non-consanguineous couple without relevant antecedents. Specifically, polymerase chain reaction amplification of microsatellite markers revealed a noninherited microdeletion in position D22S306.
