Abstract
Ectopic calcification in soft tissue is associated with several disorders including pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP), which is characterized by resistance or nonresponse to parathyroid hormone (PTH) function. Association between PHP and 22q11DS, also known as DiGeorge syndrome, is rare, especially in children. We describe a newborn girl diagnosed with 22q11DS, presenting ectopic calcifications in soft tissue and suspicion of PHP. PTH function showed values close to the upper limit of the reference value. Radiology showed bone callus in the right wrist. PHP can be a new clinical finding associated with 22q11DS. Parathyroid function investigation in individuals with 22q11DS, presenting bone dysmorphisms and/or calcium metabolism alterations, should be considered.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Pediatric Genetics is an English multidisciplinary peer-reviewed international journal publishing articles on all aspects of genetics in childhood and of the genetics of experimental models. These topics include clinical genetics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, medical genetics, dysmorphology, teratology, genetic counselling, genetic engineering, formal genetics, neuropsychiatric genetics, behavioral genetics, community genetics, cytogenetics, hereditary or syndromic cancer genetics, genetic mapping, reproductive genetics, fetal pathology and prenatal diagnosis, multiple congenital anomaly syndromes, and molecular embryology of birth defects. Journal of Pediatric Genetics provides an in-depth update on new subjects and current comprehensive coverage of the latest techniques used in the diagnosis of childhood genetics. Journal of Pediatric Genetics encourages submissions from all authors throughout the world. The following articles will be considered for publication: editorials, original and review articles, short report, rapid communications, case reports, letters to the editor, and book reviews. The aim of the journal is to share and disseminate knowledge between all disciplines in the field of pediatric genetics. This journal is a publication of the World Pediatric Society: http://www.worldpediatricsociety.org/ The Journal of Pediatric Genetics is available in print and online. Articles published ahead of print are available via the eFirst service on the Thieme E-Journals platform.
