CHD7 disorder encompasses the entire phenotypic spectrum of heterozygous CHD7 pathogenic variants that includes CHARGE syndrome as well as subsets of features that comprise the CHARGE syndrome phenotype. The mnemonic CHARGE syndrome, introduced in the premolecular era, stands for coloboma, heart defect, choanal atresia, retarded growth and development, genital hypoplasia, ear anomalies (including deafness). Following the identification of the genetic cause of CHD7 disorder, the phenotypic spectrum expanded to include cranial nerve anomalies, vestibular defects, cleft lip and/or palate, hypothyroidism, tracheoesophageal anomalies, brain anomalies, seizures, and renal anomalies. Life expectancy highly depends on the severity of manifestations; mortality can be high in the first few years when severe birth defects (particularly complex heart defects) are present and often complicated by airway and feeding issues. In childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, decreased life expectancy is likely related to a combination of residual heart defects, infections, aspiration or choking, respiratory issues including obstructive and central apnea, and possibly seizures. Despite these complications, the life expectancy for many individuals can be normal.

Show allSpecifically designed at Centogene, this gene test is targeted to the patients suspected to this disease and patients with positive familial history. Centogene is revealing associations between particular gene mutations and disease, and over a thousand tests can now determine whether a person carries a particular disease-associated allele.
Number of mutations were up to now reported as causing mutation for this disease, and vast majority of them were reported as missense type, identified with more than 99,9% specificity using standard sequencing at Centogene. Deletion/duplication analysis is also designed at Centogene specifically for this gene and offered in order to specially meets the patient`s needs. Gene test for this gene could support precise diagnosis of the disease in majority of affected patients with family history, as well as number of sporadic patients with particular symptomatology. The ability of this particular gene test to accurately and reliably identify or predict the intermediate or final outcomes of the disease is fairly high.

Citations- The benefits associated with the use of this genetic test in practice are numerous, including improvement in measurable clinical outcomes and usefulness, added values in clinical management of the patient. This gene test could lead to the improved health outcome in affected patients. The test can provide information about diagnosis, and support the treatment, management, or prevention of a disease. This gene test also supports following issues: the effectiveness of available interventions for individuals at increased risk, social consequences of genetic information, economic implications of genetic testing and follow-up of the patients.
