What is Shprintzen-Goldberg Syndrome

Shprintzen-Goldberg Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects various parts of the body. It is also known as Velocardiofacial Syndrome (VCFS) or 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome. This condition is caused by a deletion of a small piece of chromosome 22, resulting in a wide range of symptoms and medical issues.


Individuals with Shprintzen-Goldberg Syndrome may experience craniofacial abnormalities such as a long, narrow face, a high-arched palate, and a small jaw. They may also have heart defects including abnormalities in the structure or function of the heart. Additionally, this syndrome can affect the development of the skeletal system, leading to joint problems, scoliosis, and a tall stature.


Other common features of Shprintzen-Goldberg Syndrome include learning disabilities, speech and language delays, immune system abnormalities, and gastrointestinal issues. Individuals with this syndrome may also have a higher risk of developing psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and schizophrenia.


Early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach to treatment are crucial for managing the symptoms and improving the quality of life for individuals with Shprintzen-Goldberg Syndrome.
