Velocardiofacial syndrome
Velocardiofacial syndrome is a genetic condition that is characterized by cleft palate, heart defects, low immune system, low calcium levels, abnormal kidney formation, learning difficulties and characteristic facial appearance. Some people have very mild forms (or no symptoms at all). It's caused by a deletion in chromosome 22q11, and is a variant of the same disorder that is DiGeorge syndrome.
