Disease_model_description22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is the most common human deletion syndrome caused by deletion of a small piece of chromosome 22, characterized by neurodevelopmental defects, schizophrenia, congenital cardiac and craniofacial abnormalites (includes DiGeorge Syndrome and velocardiofacial syndrome); the 22q11.2 deletion overlaps several protein-coding genes including UFD1L (ubiquitin fusion degradation 1 like (yeast)); C. elegans ufd-1 is involved in ER-associated protein degradation and DNA replication and knock-down phenotypes include slow growth, defects in gonad development and locomotion, enlarged gut granules, cell cycle progression defects and reduced life span; ufd-1 provides a potential model system to study genes involved in 22q11.2DS.
