Abstract

Thrombocytopenia is a common finding in patients with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Patients with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (n=112) were analyzed along with 57 age-matched controls. Even after the exclusion of patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura, the mean platelet count was approximately 70% of the control population.
