Microdeletion 15q14

[MIM 616 898]

(Monosomy 15q14, intellectual disability-congenital cardiopathy-cleft palate syndrome due to microdeletion 15q14)

Extremely rare. De novo mutation or autosomal dominant transmission of an interstitial deletion located within the 15q14 band, distal to the Prader-Willi/Angelman region and including the MEIS2 gene. 


Association of :


-        developmental delay,

-        short stature

-        facial dysmorphism: reduced bitemporal diameter, smooth philtrum, pointed chin and dysplastic ears.

-        cleft palate;

-        cardiac malformation (ASD, VSD) or epilepsy is found in patients with the largest deletions.


Anesthetic implications:

echocardiography, short stature, cleft palate
