Objective: To detect 22q11 microdeletion in the children and fetuses affected by congenital heart defects.
Method: MLPA P250 kit was used to detect 22q11 microdeletion in 100 cases of sporadic congenital heart defects including 40 fetuses and 60 patients diagnosed by ultrasound.
Result: Two cases from the fetuses and 1 case from the patients were found to have 22q11 microdeletion.
Conclusion: Three cases had 22q11 microdeletion in the congenital heart defects.
