RESUMO

Purpose: To investigate alterations (deletions/duplications) in the 22q11 region in individuals with cleft palate aged 0-2 years, in order to perform early diagnosis of 22q11 deletion syndrome (SD22q11). Local: Genetics and Human Cytogenetics Laboratory, HRAC/USP, Bauru-SP. Methods: We selected 55 individuals with cleft palate, both genders, registered and in treatment at Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais/USP. All individuals were investigated by cytogenetics and MLPA techniques. Results and Discussion: 46 out of 55 individuals, presented isolated cleft palate, 6 cleft palate and heart malformations, 1 cleft palate and developmental delay, 1 submucous cleft, and 1 submucous cleft and developmental delay. G karyotype did not show any chromosomal abnormalities. Although we did not detect any alterations, the initial cytogenetics analysis was important to exclude alteration in other chromosomal region that could result in a similar phenotype. Deletion or duplication in 22q11 region by MLPA was not detected, which shown to be a rapid, sensitive, and low cost method in comparison with other methods to investigate 22q11 region. Results, associated with the literature, have shown that the prevalence of the 22q11 alteration is very low in cleft palate. The presence of heart malformation is suggestive of 22q11DS. Besides, there were no alterations in 22q11 region in 6 patients with cleft palate and heart malformations. We were able to identify developmental delay in only 2 individual, both aged 2 years which demonstrates the difficulty of making early diagnosis. Conclusion: There is no justification for routine screening for 22q11 region deletion/duplication in children aged 0-2 years with cleft palate as main feature. These individuals should be carefully followed because behavioral or mentalimpairments as well as dysmorphic features characteristic of 22q11DS may evolve with time.
