“…Of interest is the association of 15q14 microdeletion and TOF on prenatal ultrasound in the present case. Congenital heart defects associated with the cases with the 15q14 microdeletion have been well described: Chen et al [14] reported VSD associated with del(15)(q14) (submicroscopic, 5.6 Mb); Crowley et al [15] reported VSD associated with del(15)(q14) (submicroscopic, 123 kb); Johansson et al [17] reported VSD in three of nine cases with del(15)(q14) (submicroscopic, 0.6e4.8 Mb); Brunetti-Pierri et al [13] reported congenital heart defects associated with del(15)(q14) (submicroscopic, 4.2 Mb) and del(15)(q13eq14) (submicroscopic, 8.9 Mb), respectively, in two patients; Erdogan et al [12] reported atrial septal defect (ASD) associated with del(15)(q14) (submicroscopic, 5.3 Mb); Galan et al [8] reported pulmonary valve stenosis associated with del(15)(q12eq14); Tonk et al [9] reported VSD, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and ischemic cardiomyopathy associated with del(15)(q12eq14); Autio et al [7] reported ASD associated with del(15)(q13eq15); Herva and Vuorinen [3] reported VSD, hypoplastic pulmonary artery, and atretic tricuspid valve associated with del(15)(q12eq14); Pauli et al [5] reported VSD associated with del(15)(pter-q15) and del(11)(q25-qter); Windpassinger et al [10] reported persistent foramen ovale and PDA associated with del(15)(pter-q14) and del(3)(qter); Duckett and Roberts [4] reported VSD, ASD, PDA, and transposition of great vessels associated with del(15)(pter-q14 or q15) and trisomy 13 (pter-q32 or q33); Schwartz et al [6] reported coarctation of the aorta and PDA associated with del(15)(pter-q14) and del(22)(pterq13.2); and Matsumura et al [11] reported PDA associated with del(15)(pter-q14) and trisomy 22q. Matsson et al [18] analyzed two large Swedish families segregating autosomal dominant secundum ASD5 and identified heterozygosity for a mutation of M123V in the 20 affected individuals.…”
