Sclerocornea associated with the chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome

Abstract: Reported ocular findings in the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (which encompasses the phenotypes of DiGeorge, velocardiofacial, and Takao (conotruncal-anomaly-face) syndromes) have included posterior embryotoxon (prominent, anteriorly displaced Schwalbe's line at the corneal limbus or edge), retinal vascular tortuosity, eyelid hooding, strabismus, and astigmatism. We present seven 22q11.2 patients from multiple centers with sclerocornea, an eye finding previously unreported in the literature. Four boys and three gi… Show more

“…Instead, ocular findings such as sclerocornea, microphtalmia, and cataract have been described in the 22q11 deletion syndrome [Binenbaum et al, 2008;Casteels et al, 2008]. The patient here reported presented with a 2.56-2.8 Mb deletion that represents the typical 3-Mb deletion at 22q11.2 that is usually observed.…”

“…Since bulbous nasal tip, small mouth and chin are common features of the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome [Binenbaum et al, 2008], we have postulated that the facial features of our patient are in association with both conditions.…”
