Double Aortic Arch
Double aortic arch is associated with a chromosome band 22q11 deletion in approximately 20% of patients. Double aortic arch may be associated with band 22q11 deletion, which has various other possible manifestations. These include, but are not limited to, palatal abnormalities, laryngotracheal anomalies, speech and learning delay, characteristic facial features, hypocalcemia, abnormalities of T-cell–mediated immune function, and neurologic defects.
