A case of prenatal diagnosis of 22q11 microdeletion in a fetus with a conotruncal heart defect is described. This type of chromosomal aberration has been shown to be present in up to 30% of isolated conotruncal anomalies and in most cases of DiGeorge and velocardiofacial syndromes. The implications of such a diagnosis on prenatal counselling are discussed.
