Background: Enlarged cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) and hypoplastic thymus are proposed extra-cardiac fetal markers for 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. We sought to determine if they were part of the fetal phenotype of our cohort of fetuses with 22q11.

Coffin-Siris syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder with neurological, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Patients with Coffin-Siris syndrome typically have variable degree of developmental delay or intellectual disability, muscular hypotonia, dysmorphic facial features, sparse scalp hair, but otherwise hirsutism and fifth digit nail or distal phalanx hypoplasia or aplasia. Coffin-Siris syndrome is caused by pathogenic variants in 12 different genes including and .

Thymic epithelial cells (TEC) control T cell development and play essential roles in establishing self-tolerance. By using -driven ablation of gene in TEC, we identified as a critical factor in TEC development. deficiency resulted in a hypoplastic thymus-evident from fetal stages into adulthood-in which a dramatic increase in the frequency of apoptotic TEC was observed.
