متن کاملConotruncal heart malformations in Egypt: An epidemiological study
Conotruncal malformations of the heart are a major category of birth defects. No previous epidemiological studies on these malformations have been carried out in Egypt; therefore our study aimed to describe associations with maternal and infant factors in order to identify possible risk factors. Cases (N = 255) were children up to two years of age whose heart malformations were confirmed by ech...
متن کاملFrequency of 22q11 deletions in patients with conotruncal defects.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to determine the frequency of 22q11 deletions in a large, prospectively ascertained sample of patients with conotruncal defects and to evaluate the deletion frequency when additional cardiac findings are also considered. BACKGROUND Chromosome 22q11 deletions are present in the majority of patients with DiGeorge, velocardiofacial and conotruncal anomaly face ...
متن کاملGuidelines for 22q11 deletion screening of patients with conotruncal defects.
Goldmuntz et al. (1) have reported the frequency of 22q11 deletions in a prospectively ascertained sample of 251 patients with conotruncal defects. Deletions were found in 17.9% of the patients, including 50% with interrupted aortic arch (IAA), 34.3% with truncus arteriosus (TA), and 15.9% with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Although this study was designed to determine the frequency of deletions i...
