Manuscript Received: April 13, 1999; Initial review completed: May 18, 1999; Revision Accepted: August 30, 1999 Velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) is a genetic disorder with an estimated frequency of 1 in 4000 live births(1). This disorder is characterized by cardiac defects, cleft palate, learning disabilities and mild facial dysmor-phology(2). The identification of these patients is difficult because it is a multisystem syndrome with numerous anomalies, many of which are considered minor and found in general population(3). The enormous variability of this condition is seen by the different clinical features which are present in the affected members of the same family(4,5). There is a paucity of documentation on this subject in Indian literature. Hence we report a pair of siblings born to nonconsanguineous parents who had variable clinical phenotype.

Document Request Title: Velo-cardio-facial (Shprintzen's) Syndrome, violence and schizophrenia Author(s): Zubin Bhagwagar MD, MRCPsych, MRC ; David Mawson FRCPsych Source: Journal of Forensic Psychiatry Volume: Number: Page: DOI: Publisher: Abstract: Shprintzen's Syndrome, or Velo-cardio-facial Syndrome (VCFS), is an autosomal dominant multiple anomaly disorder linked to a hemizygous interstitial deletion of chromosome 22q11. We believe this is the first reported case of schizophrenia coexisting with VCFS in a patient whose genotype does not show the characteristic micro-deletion. Second, the association of VCFS with violent fantasies and dangerous behaviour has not been reported and provides an interesting dimension to the study of 'dangerousness'. It is important that psychiatrists keep in mind the possibility that dangerous behaviour may be associated with specific, though perhaps rare, clinical syndromes. However, the nature of the association between the two needs to be established.

Resources What is velocardiofacial syndrome? Velocardiofacial Syndrome might be referred to by other names including Shprintzen Syndrome, Craniofacial Syndrome, or Conotruncal Anomaly Face Syndrome. The name Shprintzen Syndrome comes from physician Dr. Robert Shprintzen of the Center for Craniofacial Disorders, who, in 1978, described a series of 12 children with a cleft palate (incomplete closure of the roof of the mouth), heart defects (abnormalities of the heart from the time of birth) and similar facial characteristics. The name Velocardiofacial Syndrome comes from the Latin words "velum" meaning palate, "cardia" meaning heart, and "facies" having to do with the face thus incorporating the most common features of cleft palate, heart defects, and a characteristic facial appearance. Other common findings include minor learning problems and speech and feeding problems.
