Understanding Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome by happykendall03 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome (VCFS) is a genetic disorder characterized by congenital anomalies, including cardiac issues and cleft palate, with a prevalence of 1 in every 4,000 births. It is primarily caused by a deletion at the q11.2 band on the 22nd chromosome, with most cases arising from random mutations. VCFS impacts various skills such as speech, language, and motor coordination, and is associated with educational and social challenges, including co-occurring mental health issues.
