ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN. La deleción 22q11.2 es una alteración cromosómica muy frecuente, en la cual un 60% de los afectados presenta patologías neuropsiquiátricas. Determinar si existe asociación entre el síndrome de deleción 22q11.2 (SD22q11.2) y patologías como la esquizofrenia (EQZ), ofrece una oportunidad para la intervención temprana, y seguimiento de personas con este síndrome. OBJETIVO. El objetivo del presente trabajo es determinar si existe mayor riesgo de EQZ en pacientes con síndrome deleción 22q11.2. MÉTODOS. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica sistemática de publicaciones con fecha de 1990 a 2020. Las búsquedas se realizaron en PubMed y en la base de datos Cochrane. En total, se evaluaron 19 estudios, de los que se consideraron elegibles diez publicaciones para el análisis, lo que corresponde a 824 participantes. RESULTADOS. El riesgo de presentar EQZ en un individuo con SD22q11.2 es de 20-25%, en comparación al 1% de la población general. CONCLUSIONES. El riesgo para un individuo con SD22q11.2 de presentar EQZ se encuentra bien establecido. Considerar este riesgo podría ayudar a un adecuado seguimiento y una intervención temprana.


INTRODUCTION. 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is a very common chromosomal abnormality, in which 60% of those affected have neuropsychiatric disorders. Determining if there is an association between 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) and disorders such as schizophrenia (SCZ) offers an opportunity for early intervention and follow-up of people with this syndrome. OBJECTIVE. The objective of this study is to determine if there is a greater risk of SCZ in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. METHODS. A systematic review was performed for publications dated 1990 to 2020. The strategy was to search in PubMed and Cochrane databases for specific MeSH terms. In total, 19 studies were reviewed, of which 10 publications were eligible for analysis, corresponding to 824 participants. RESULTS. The risk of presenting SCZ in an individual with 22q11.2DS is 20-25%, compared to 1% in the general population.CONCLUSIONS. The risk of presenting SCZ in an individual with 22q11.2DS is well established. Considering this risk could help with adequate follow-up and early intervention.

ABSTRACT

Velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) is due to a microdeletion on chromosome region 22q11.2. Clinically, it is characterized by congenital anomalies and psychiatric and cognitive manifestations. The most common structural defects are congenital heart disease and palatal anomalies, both due to abnormal development of the pharyngeal pouches. Another less studied manifestation is abdominal wall hernias. Objective: To characterize the frequency and types of hernias in patients with VCFS, and their association with congenital cardiopathies and palatine abnormalities. Patients and Methods: 202 patients were evaluated by direct clinical examination and questionnaire about their phenotypic characteristics. Results were compared to those found in the literature. Results: Age range was 0.5 to 48.4 years old (mean 11.9 years), 50.4 percent were females. Twenty two percent of patients had abdominal wall hernias. Of these, 49.1 percent were inguinal and 40.3 percent, umbilical. Conclusion: Patients with VCFS have a higher incidence of abdominal hernias than general population, described as approximately 5 percent. This is another common manifestation of the syndrome, not attributable to defects in development of pharyngeal pouches and with unknown pathogenesis.


El síndrome velocardiofacial (SVCF) se debe a una microdeleción en la región cromosómica 22q11.2. Clínicamente, se caracteriza por anomalías congénitas y manifestaciones siquiátricas y cognitivas. Entre las malformaciones más comunes, están las cardiopatías congénitas y anomalías palatinas, por defectos en el desarrollo de las bolsas faríngeas. Otra manifestación menos estudiada son las hernias de la pared abdominal. Objetivo: Caracterizar la frecuencia y tipos de hernias en pacientes con SVCF y su asociación con cardiopatías congénitas y anomalías del paladar. Pacientes y Método: Evaluamos 202 pacientes mediante un examen clínico directo y un cuestionario sobre sus características fenotípicas. Comparamos los resultados con la información de la literatura. Resultados: El rango de edad fue de 0,5 a 48,4 años (media de 11,9 años), 50,4 por ciento de sexo femenino. El 22 por ciento de los pacientes presentó hernias de la pared abdominal. De estas, el 49,1 por ciento fueron inguinales y el 40,3 por ciento, umbilicales. La frecuencia de hernias en los pacientes con SVCF es significativamente mayor que la descrita para la población general, aproximadamente un 5 por ciento. Esta es una manifestación común del síndrome, que no es atribuible a defectos del desarrollo de las bolsas faríngeas y cuya patogenia no ha sido definida.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO:Realizar uma revisão dos aspectos históricos, epidemiológicos, clínicos, etiológicos e laboratoriais da síndrome de deleção 22q11.2, salientando-se a importância e as dificuldades do seu diagnóstico. FONTES DE DADOS: Pesquisa nas bases de dados Medline, Lilacs e SciELO, além da Internet e capítulos de livros em inglês, acerca de publicações feitas entre 1980 e 2008. Para isso, utilizaram-se os descritores "22q11", "DiGeorge", "Velocardiofacial" e "CATCH22". SÍNTESE DOS DADOS: A síndrome de deleção 22q11.2, também conhecida como síndrome de DiGeorge ou velocardiofacial, foi identificada no começo da década de 1990. A microdeleção 22q11.2 é considerada uma das síndromes de microdeleção genética mais frequentes em seres humanos. Caracteriza-se por um espectro fenotípico bastante amplo, com mais de 180 achados clínicos já descritos do ponto de vista físico e comportamental. Contudo, nenhum achado é patognomônico ou mesmo obrigatório. A maioria dos pacientes apresenta uma deleção pequena, detectada somente por técnicas de genética molecular, como a hibridização in situ fluorescente. Apresenta padrão de herança autossômico dominante, ou seja, indivíduos acometidos apresentam um risco de 50 por cento de transmiti-la a seus filhos. CONCLUSÕES: Pacientes com a síndrome de deleção 22q11.2 frequentemente necessitam, ao longo de suas vidas, de um grande número de intervenções médicas e hospitalizações. O diagnóstico precoce é fundamental para a adequada avaliação e manejo clínico dos indivíduos e seus familiares.


OBJECTIVE:To review historical, epidemiological, clinical, etiological and laboratorial aspects of the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, highlighting the importance of the diagnosis and its difficulties. DATA SOURCES: MedLine, Lilacs e SciELO databases, as well as internet and book chapters written in English, were searched for the period of 1980-2008, with the following descriptors "22q11", "DiGeorge", "Velocardiofacial" and "CATCH22". DATA SYNTHESIS: 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, also known as DiGeorge or velocardiofacial syndrome, was identified in the beginning of the 1990 decade. The 22q11.2 microdeletion is one of the most common human genetic microdeletion syndromes. It is characterized by a very broad phenotypic spectrum. More than 180 physical and behavioral clinical findings have already been described. However, none of them is characteristic or essential to diagnosis. The majority of the patients present a small deletion only detected by molecular genetic techniques as the fluorescent in situ hybridization. The deletion segregates in the families with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance, so the recurrence risk in the families is 50 percent. CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome have a great possibility to undergo medical interventions and hospitalizations throughout their lives. Early diagnosis is essential for the evaluation and clinical management of the patients and their families.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: A síndrome de deleção 22q11.2 é considerada hoje uma das doenças genéticas mais frequentes em humanos. Caracteriza-se clinicamente por um espectro fenotípico bastante amplo, com mais de 180 achados já descritos, tanto físicos como comportamentais. Contudo, nenhum deles é patognomônico ou mesmo obrigatório, o que acaba dificultando o diagnóstico. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar a prevalência e as características clínicas de pacientes com microdeleção 22q11.2 em uma amostra selecionada de indivíduos com suspeita clínica de síndrome de deleção 22q11.2 e cariótipo normal. MÉTODOS: Uma amostra selecionada de 30 pacientes com suspeita clínica da síndrome de deleção 22q11.2 e cariótipo normal foi avaliada através da aplicação de um protocolo clínico padrão e análise citogenética por meio da técnica de hibridização in situ fluorescente. RESULTADOS: A microdeleção 22q11.2 foi identificada em três pacientes (10 por cento), sendo esta prevalência similar a da maioria dos estudos descritos na literatura que oscila de 4 por cento a 21 por cento. Os pacientes com síndrome de deleção 22q11.2 do nosso trabalho se caracterizaram por um fenótipo variável, com poucos achados clínicos similares, o que foi concordante com a descrição da literatura. CONCLUSÃO: Nossos achados reforçam a ideia de que o diagnóstico clínico da síndrome de deleção 22q11.2 é difícil devido à sua grande variabilidade fenotípica. Assim, uma avaliação clínica detalhada associada a um teste sensível como a hibridização in situ fluorescente, são fundamentais para a identificação destes pacientes.


OBJECTIVE: The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome nowadays is considered one of the most often observed genetic diseases in humans. It is clinically characterized by a rather wide phenotypic spectrum, with more than 180 clinical features physical as well as behavioral, already described. However, none is pathognomonic or obligatory which makes diagnosis even more difficult. Thus, this study intended to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients with 22q11.2 microdeletion in a selected sample of subjects with clinical suspicion of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and normal karyotype. METHODS: A selected sample of 30 patients with clinical suspicion of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and normal karyotype was evaluated by application of a standard clinical protocol and cytogenetic analysis with fluorescent in situ hybridization. RESULTS: 22q11.2 microdeletion was identified in 3 patients (10 percent), a prevalence similar to the majority of published studies, which ranged from 4 to 21 percent. The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome patients in this study were characterized by a variable phenotype and shared few clinical features, in agreement with the literature description. CONCLUSIONS: These findings strengthen the idea that clinical diagnosis of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is difficult due to the large phenotypic variability. Therefore a detailed clinical evaluation associated to a sensitive test such as fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis is crucial for the identification of these patients.
