摘要: 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q11DS) is a multisystem disorder caused by hemizygous deletion within 22q11.2. Patients with the display wide range of cognitive deficits. The gene catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT) resides in typically deleted region and rendered individuals affected 22q11DS. COMT critical enzyme degradation catecholamine neurotransmitters brain. A functional polymorphism, Val158 Met, has been associated variety neurocognitive outcomes. In this study, 159 patients 22q11DS were analyzed for potential association between intelligence quotient (IQ) genotype. We performed univariate analysis overall influence modified our to focus on possible differences average, borderline, intellectually impaired patients. No correlation genotype IQ performance was found. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
