How likely will I have another child with 22q11.2DS if neither my spouse nor I have it?

In about 90% of cases, 22q11.2DS is the result of a spontaneous change (mutation) in the genetic material of the sperm or egg at conception. In such cases, the risk of having another child with 22q11.2DS is low but slightly greater than that of the general population (≤ 1-2%).

22q11.2DS is a lifelong condition. Should you require financial assistance or emotional support, please approach your doctor for referral to a medical social worker.
