Since birth, a 4 yr old boy has suffered from the recurrent infections with opportunistic pathogens. Prior to his birth, fetal ultrasound revealed a ventricular septal defect and cleft palate, both of which were repaired post-natally. The child's pediatrician thought his health problems were most likely due to a deletion on one of his chromosomes.
Which serum electrolyte abnormality is most likely to be found in this patient?
A. Hypercalcemia
B. Hyperkalemia
C. Hypernatremia
D. Hypocalcemia
E. Hypokalemia
F. Hyponatremia

Yes its Di George Syn specific signs with a syndrome of congenital conotruncal cardiac anomalies, characteristic facies, velopharyngeal dysfunction with or without cleft palate, and learning dysfunction,
Or
the name CATCH 22 since it describes the findings of cardiac anomalies, abnormal facies, thymic hypoplasia, cleft palate, and hypocalcemia on chromosome 22
