J Korean Pediatr Soc. 1995;38(12):1603-1609.   Published online December 15, 1995
The recognition that deletion of 22ql1 is a common cause of varied malformations and clinical disorders took more than a decade to achieve. Deletions of chromosome 22ql1 have been seen in association with DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) and velo¡ⓒ cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS). The large clinical overlap between DiGeorge syndrome and velo-cardio-facial syndrome suggest an aetiological connection. CATCH 22 synd¡ⓒrome is characterized...

Purpose : Extrahepatic biliary atresia, neonatal hepatitis, Allagille syndrome are most common primary causes of the neonatal cholestasis. Infantile choledochal cyst is another primary disease presenting with neonatal cholestasis but its incidence is so low that it has been reported rarely. Choledochal cyst in infancy has been known to have clinically and anatomically different characteristics from ones after infancy. Thus...
