Transcript Conference raises awareness of velo-cardio-facial syndrome RAYMOND TANNER: The main problems that I had was the way my I looked and the way I spoke. During that period, the other students wouldn't accept me and I got called lots of names. Unfortunately no-one was aware of the problem at the time. And they just took it as a fact of nature. GENEVIEVE HUSSEY, REPORTER: 53-year-old Raymond Tanner has always felt different. As a child, he looked unusual, had trouble speaking clearly and was a slow learner. Over the years, he's had countless operations to improve his appearance a nose job, cheek lift and eyelid lift. RAYMOND TANNER: I was conscious of people making comments on the way I looked. So going to work or anything like that, it's been very hard. GENEVIEVE HUSSEY: Raymond Tanner married and had three children. His eldest son died of heart problems when he was nine days old. His younger son, Andrew, had ongoing health issues. 10 years ago, doctors carried out tests on both the father and son and, after a lifetime of health problems, Raymond Tanner made an astounding discovery. Both he and his son have a genetic disorder called velo-cardio-facial syndrome.

Velo-cardio-facial Syndrome (VCFS) VCFS is the most common cleft palate-associated syndrome. Characteristically, VCFS children have long faces, prominent jaws, flattened cheeks, underdeveloped lower jaws, bluish colors beneath the eyes, thin upper lip and down-slanting mouth and cleft palate. Affecting approximately 1:2-5,000 children, there is only a small chance (2-5%) that the condition will affect future offspring. Multiple heart abnormalities, learning disabilities, hearing loss, speech problems, and leg pain and behavior extremes may also be present. Cleft and lower jaw repairs and reconstructive ear surgeries are often required.

The National Craniofacial Association P. O. Box 11082 * Chattanooga, TN 37401 Velo-cardio-facial Syndrome What is Velo-cardio-facial Syndrome? Velocardiofacial Syndrome, also known as VCFS or as Shprintzen Syndrome, is the most common syndrome associated with cleft palate. Approximately 1 in 2,000-5,000 children are born with VCFS. Characteristics include: a long face with a prominent upper jaw flattening of the cheeks an underdeveloped lower jaw a bluish color below the eyes a prominent nose with narrow nasal passages a long thin upper lip and a down-slanting mouth cleft palate or submucous cleft palate Why did this happen? Velocardiofacial Syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition. Genetic studies of children with this condition show that a microscopic segment on the long arm of chromosome 22 is missing. The genetic test for diagnosis of this condition is called "FISH analysis" and can be performed in many medical centers. It is not because of anything the mother did or did not do during the pregnancy. Will this happen to children I have in the future?
