Abstract

This brief review summarizes current knowledge concerning clinical characteristics of the hypoparathyroidism in DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) and pathogenetic hypotheses based upon studies in mouse models. Although a DiGeorge syndrome-like phenotype may be etiologically heterogeneous, most cases are caused by a genetic defect, i.e. an interstitial deletion of chromosome 22 named d e l 2 2 q 1 1. We focus on patients with this genetic defect because a) within the population of patients with a DGS-like phenotype, this is the predominant group of patients, and b) both clinical and animal model studies have accumulated a wealth of information unavailable for, and mostly inapplicable to, patients with DGS-like phenotype without d e l 2 2 q 1 1.
