Abstract
22q11.2DS is the most common microdeletion syndrome. It is characterized by a wide phenotypic variability, including scoliosis. This is the first epidemiological study that shows that the prevalence of early onset scoliosis within this vulnerable group of patients is around 40%. A congenital heart defect (CHD) irrespective of surgery was an independent risk factor, with an Odd's Ratio of 12.09.
