Brain MRI Anatomical and Attention and Behavior Disorders With 22qll.2 Deletion Syndrome

Abstract

The brain anatomy of 39 children and adolescents with 22qDS (mean age 11 years; IQ 67) and 26 sibling controls (mean age 11 years; IQ 102) was compared using MRI and automated voxel-based morphometry, and behavioral differences were correlated with affected brain regions in a study at King’s College, Institute of Psychiatry, London, UK; Royal College of Surgeons, Dublin, Ireland; and Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, Holland.
