Özet

Deletions of chromosome 22q11 cause a wide range of phenotypes; even affected members from the same family may present with different phenotype. We present an 11-3/12 year-old boy who has 22q11 deletion in a hitherto unreported combination with psychiatric disorder, hypoparathyroidism and precocious puberty. Whether precocious puberty is a clue for chromosome 22q11 deletion syndrome is also discussed.
