Team Care for 22q

2018

22q11.2 deletion syndrome is a genetic condition that has symptoms involving virtually every organ system. Historically, it has been described as multiple syndromes but with the advent of modern genetics these were brought together as one due to the same genetic deletion on chromosome 22. In this study, we aim to describe the demographics, genetic, craniofacial team, and mental health findings and recommendations for patients diagnosed with 22q11. The relatively high volume of 22q patients seen in this division combined with the unique ethnic diversity comprised mostly of Latino families makes this an ideal location for investigation where results can contribute substantially to the existing literature on 22q11 deletion syndrome within the context of team care.
