Children With 22.Q.11.2 Deletion Syndrome: Sleep‐Disordered Breathing and Management

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) are predisposed to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to an abnormal craniofacial anatomy with pharyngeal hypotonia, retrognathia, micrognathia, and glossoptosis. The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence and management of OSA in a cohort of children with 22q11DS.
