acronym denoting a particular grouping of congenital anomalies found together more frequently than otherwise expected. Affected patients have coloboma of the eye, heart defects (typically tetralogy of Fallot, patent ductus arteriosus, or ventricular or atrial septal defect), atresia of the choanae, renal anomalies and retardation of growth and/or development, genital anomalies in males such as small penis or cryptorchidism, and ear abnormalities or deafness.

Most cases of CHARGE syndrome are caused by sporadic de novo pathogenic variants in the CHD7 gene on chromosome 8q12, although cases of autosomal dominant familial transmission have also been reported (Burns Wechsler & McDonald, 2018; Chen, 2017; Hartshorne, Stratton, & van Ravenswaaij-Arts, 2011; Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man [OMIM], n.d.).
