A study notable for the relatively large sample size (44 participants with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, a condition that affects only 1 in about 5,000 newborns) that corroborates previous studies linking 22q11.2DS to congenital heart disease and decreased gyrification. It is also interesting because it did not find a correlation between gyrification and cortical thickness.
