Just wondering if anyone on here has heard of this syndrome?
Or perhaps you know of children/adults with it?
I have looked on the net & found some sites,but was wondering if anyone here has some hands on with this syndrome?
I would really appreciate any help you can give me.
Pm me if you don't want to put it on here.
Thanks:-6

Never heard of it till now MrsK.
History of the name "CHARGE"
The name "CHARGE" was a clever way (in 1981) to refer to a newly recognized cluster of features seen in a number of children. Over the years, it has become clear that CHARGE is indeed a syndrome and at least one gene causing CHARGE syndrome has been discovered (see below). The letters in CHARGE stand for: Coloboma of the eye, Heart defects, Atresia of the choanae, Retardation of growth and/or development, Genital and/or urinary abnormalities, and Ear abnormalities and deafness. Those features are no longer used in making a diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome, but we're not changing the name.
