Montefiore-Einstein Region Center for 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome

The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS also known as DiGeorge syndrome or Velo-cardio-facial syndrome) is a genetic disorder that is caused by a microdeletion of part of the long arm of chromosome 22. The frequency is reported to be about one of every 4,000 live births. As a result of numerous medical issues that affect individuals with 22q11DS, it is essential that they receive care from a large number of medical and allied healthcare professionals. At the Montefiore-Einstein Regional Center for 22q11DS, care is delivered by a team of professionals who have experience and expertise in working with patients and families carrying the deletion. We work in unison, communicating and sharing information to formulate an effective treatment plan and intervention tailored to the patient and family.
