AbstractThe 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2 DS) is the most common microdeletion syndrome with a wide variety of clinical features. However, as there are no clinical criteria for diagnosis, confirmation is solely done by genetic tests if clinicians recognize the syndrome. Therefore, we aimed to identify clinical features that may help clinicians recognize 22q11.2 DS. Participants with at least two anomalies were enrolled, complete patient history and physical examinations were performed, then multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis for 22q11.2 DS was utilized. We identified 11/48 (23%) cases with 22q11.2 DS. Palatal anomalies, hypocalcemia, and ≥3 affected body systems were highly significant presentations in the 22q11.2 DS group versus the group without deletion (p < 0.05). Therefore, a comprehensive physical examination is crucial at identifying any subtle features which may lead to testing and a definite diagnosis.

Autoimmune Psychosis

Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is characterized by congenital cardiac abnormalities, hypoplastic thymus, palatal abnormalities, and hypocalcemia, although other clinical features are frequent such as autoimmune and psychiatric disorders. One-third of the patients have psychotic disorders, frequently followed by developmental regression and long-term cognitive disturbances. Despite humoral and cellular immunodeficiency are common in 22q11DS, it is associated with an increased prevalence of autoimmune disorders such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and juvenile idiopathic arthritis, likely due to immune dysregulations associated with thymic abnormalities, which plays a major role in self-tolerance. We report an unique case of a 14-year-old girl with 22q11DS that presented with subacute psychotic symptoms, intolerance to antipsychotics, CSF pleocytosis, and EEG abnormalities, that was successfully treated with empiric immunotherapy after fulfilling criteria for probable seronegative autoimmune encephalitis and probable autoimmune psychosis. The autoimmune etiology of these clinical features of 22q11DS has never been postulated despite the predisposition of this syndrome to present autoimmune disorders. We suggest the systematic evaluation with serum and CSF neuronal antibodies, MRI, and EEG of patients with 22q11DS that develop subacute psychotic symptoms or rapidly progressive cognitive decline. Early immunomodulatory therapies should be carefully considered if criteria of probable autoimmune psychosis or possible autoimmune encephalitis are fulfilled, as it may prevent long-term disabilities. Further studies are required to assess the autoimmune origin of psychosis and cognitive impairment associated with 22q11DS.
