Conotruncal malformations account for about 50% of congenital heart defects diagnosed in newborns. We studied prospectively 104 patients admitted in our neonatal intensive care unit for conotruncal defects by fluorescence in situ hybridization to estimate the prevalence of the interstitial deletion in this category of congenital heart disease. Cardiac phenotypes were: truncus arteriosus (17), interrupted aortic arch (18), tetralogy of Fallot with or without pulmonary valve atresia (55), tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valves (5), ventricular septal defect with malalignment of the conal septum (9). We discovered a microdeletion 22q11 at loci D22S39 or D22S398 in 50 newborns (48%). The prevalence of this microdeletion in different groups of conotruncal defects was: truncus arteriosus 7/17, interrupted aortic arch 16/18, tetralogy of Fallot 19/55, absent pulmonary valves 2/5, and ventricular septal defect 6/9 respectively. Only two patients without any clinical or biological feature of the so called CATCH22 syndrome exhibited the deletion. Parental studies confirmed that the deletion occurred de novo in 47/50 cases (three parental microdeletions). On the other hand, recurrence of conotruncal heart defects in families of "undeleted probands" was higher than expected (13%). CONCLUSION: In 50/104 newborns with conotruncal defects, an interstitial deletion 22q11 was found. Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization should be performed in newborn infants with conotruncal defect and at least one additional manifestation of the CATCH22 phenotype.
