Overview
Most cases are linked to microdeletion of chromosome 22, at the long arm (q) at the 11.2 locus.
Causes
Approximately 90% of DGS cases are due to deletion in chromosome 22, more specifically on the long arm (q) at the 11.2 locus (22q11.2). Most of these mutations arise de novo with no genetic abnormalities noted in the genome of the parents of children with DGS.[1] Researchers have identified over 90 different genes at this locus, some of which they have studied in mouse models. T-box transcription factor 1 (TBX1) is the most studied gene , which correlates with severity of DGS such as defects in the development of the heart, thymus, and parathyroid glands of mouse models. TBX1 also correlates with neuromicrovascular anomalies, which may be responsible for the behavioral and developmental abnormalities seen in DGS.[1][2]
