>The facies of the VCFS patients are characterized by narrow palpebral fissures, broad nasal root and squared-off tip, malar flatness, retrognatia, small mouth and minor ear anomalies (see Fig. 1). In addition, cleft palate, hypernasal speech, conotruncal cardiac anomalies, slender hands, and thymic hypoplasia causing lymphopenia and hypocalcemia are common manifestations (Goldberg et al., 1993; Ryan et al., 1997). Mental retardation and learning disabilities, including impairments in development of reading, language, spelling, and numeric skills are additional common manifestations of the syndrome (Goldberg et al., 1993; Murphy et al., 1998).
>In addition to the above-mentioned manifestations, patients also tend to have a high rate of psychiatric morbidity. The major reported psychiatric disorders among VCFS patients are schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder.
