Abstract

Velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS), also known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, is a common genetic condition associated with increased risk for developing schizophrenia. Given that cortical malformations play an integral role in the pattern of neuroanatomical alterations associated with VCFS, the aim of the present study was to quantify and localize gyral abnormalities. Magnetic resonance images were obtained on a 1.5 T scanner. The gyrification index (GI), a measure of the degree of cortical complexity, was differentially calculated for each lobe using a semi-automated protocol. The GI was calculated for 37 patients affected by VCFS as well as for 36 comparison individuals group-matched for age, handedness, and gender. The subjects affected by VCFS showed a significant decrease in the GI in the frontal and parietal lobes compared with the control group. The pattern of decreased gyrification in the frontal and parietal lobes further defines the structural changes associated with the syndrome and suggests underlying abnormalities in neural connectivity. Aberrant connectivity may be partially responsible for the cognitive and behavioral impairments in the syndrome, as well as the high incidence of schizophrenia among affected individuals.

  • Imaging studies in 22q11.2 syndrome have revealed smaller brain volume, decreased cortical thickness in the superior parietal, right parietooccipital and inferior frontal gyrus, heterotopias and fewer gyri, and reduced volume in the hippocampus, cerebellum and amygdala, some of which varies based on the presence of schizophrenia or cognitive deficits.

    “Imaging studies in 22q11.2 syndrome have revealed smaller brain volume [361], decreased cortical thickness in the superior parietal, right parietooccipital and inferior frontal gyrus, heterotopias and fewer gyri [27, 193, 314], and reduced volume in the hippocampus [84, 85], cerebellum [49] and amygdala [85], some of which varies based on the presence of schizophrenia or cognitive deficits [20, 31”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
