Abstract
Objectives: Describe ultrasound signs and amniocentesis results of fetuses diagnosed with DiGeorge syndrome at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Materials and methods: 25 pregnant women who visited the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology were diagnosed with DiGeorge syndrome.
Results: Abnormalities on ultrasound of DiGeorge syndrome: Congenital heart defects account for 72%, most of which are conotruncal defects. Among heart defects, the tetralogy of Fallot accounts for the highest percentage. Chromosomal abnormalities: Microdeletion 22q11.2: 80%, microduplication 22q11.2: 16%, microdeletion 10p14: 4%.
Conclusion: Congenital heart defects of which mainly conotruncal defects account for the majority of morphological abnormalities in DiGeorge syndrome. In addition to microdeletion of chromosome 22, microduplication of chromosome 22 and microdeletion of chromosome 10 is also diagnosed with DiGeorge syndrome.
