  • Coloboma of the eye
  • Heart defects
  • Atresia of the choanae
  • Retardation of (delays in) growth and development and/or central nervous system anomalies
  • Genito-urinary tract defects
  • Ear anomalies and/or deafness

Epidemiology

CHARGE syndrome has an estimated prevalence of 1:10,000.
