22q11.2 deletion syndrome, also known as DiGeorge syndrome, is a constellation of findings due to a deletion in 22q11.2.[1]
Several other terms are used to refer to this syndrome, including CATCH 22 syndrome. Catch-22 is considered inappropriate by some, as it is derived from the novel with the same name and means no win situation.[2]
Mnemonic CATCH-22:[3]
- Cardiac abnormality, especially tetralogy of Fallot.
- Abnormal facies.
- Thymic aplasia
- Cleft palate
- Hypoparathyroidism (hypocalcemia).
