CHARGE syndrome: an update

Open access
Sanlaville, Damien, Verloes, Alain·2007·European Journal of Human Genetics

Abstract

CHARGE syndrome is a rare, usually sporadic autosomal dominant disorder due in 2/3 of cases to mutations within the CHD7 gene. The clinical definition has evolved with time. The 3C triad (Coloboma-Choanal atresia-abnormal semicircular Canals), arhinencephaly and rhombencephalic dysfunctions are now considered the most important and constant clues to the diagnosis. We will discuss here recent aspects of the phenotypic delineation of CHARGE syndrome and highlight the role of CHD7 in its pathogeny. We review available data on its molecular pathology as well as cytogenetic and molecular evidences for genetic heterogeneity within CHARGE syndrome.

  • Individuals without inner ears due to a rare genetic disorder must coordinate information from multiple other sensory systems when they run.

    “Without being able to rely as others do on the vestibular system, when he runs, he must coordinate information from multiple other sensory systems.”

    From Understanding Agent Complexity Through Affordances (2025) · cites this paper as Sanlaville and Verloes, 2007

    The Auditory and vestibular anomalies section describes absent semicircular canals and impaired vestibular responses in CHARGE syndrome. The Motor milestones section links delayed movement to vestibular and visual impairments. Neither section says that affected individuals coordinate information from multiple other sensory systems when running; the paper also describes inner-ear malformations, not necessarily the absence of the entire inner ear.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
