Abstract

This report concerns 2 unrelated patients with apparent CHARGE association and a chromosome abnormality, resulting from different unbalanced familial translocations involving chromosomes 2 and 18 in one family, and chromosomes 3 and 22 in the other. Although the identification of two different chromosome abnormalities might be due to chance, the observation of a long arm deletion of chromosome 22 in patients 2 and of the frequent coexistence of CHARGE association and DiGeorge anomaly raise the possibility of a contiguous gene syndrome in at least some CHARGE cases.
