Cardiovascular Malformations in CHARGE Syndrome with DiGeorge Phenotype: Two Case Reports
Table 1
Clinical features and laboratory findings of the present cases. Cases 1 and 2 were diagnosed as definite and probable/possible CHARGE syndrome, respectively. Cardiovascular malformations frequently associated with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and characteristics originally described as DiGeorge anomaly [2] were also found in both cases, but fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis did not demonstrate chromosomal microdeletion at 22q11.2. See the text for details of cardiovascular malformations. Clinical diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome was based on Blake’s criteria [8]. N/e, not examined.
