Abstract

22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome or DiGeorge Syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by the clinical triad conotruncal cardiac anomalies, thymic hypoplasia and hypocalcemia. However, the 22q11.2 phenotype is quite variable, including physical, metabolic, endocrinological and behavioral and developmental abnormalities. It includes a psychopathological association with different psychiatric syndromes. We describe the case of a 16-yearold ale with diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder framed in a 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome.
