Title Cancer risk in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome
Relevance Medical
Data types Chromosomal microarray analysis
Organisms Homo sapiens
Description Clinically, the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is considered the most commonly detected microdeletion syndrome. Hepatoblastoma is the most prevalent malignant liver cancer in childhood. However, cases of hepatoblastoma in children with 22q11.2DS have only been reported in four patients. In this report, we present a-13-year-old male treated at our center due to growth retardation, and later diagnosed with hepatoblastoma. Whole exome sequencing identified 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) of peripheral blood samples showed a 2.9 Mb deletion of chromosome 22q11.2. Patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome showed an elevated risk of malignancy, though the underlying mechanism for this heightened risk remains unclear.
