Re‐evaluation of new X‐linked syndrome for evidence of CHARGE syndrome or association

Abstract
Previously, we reported on a family with a new syndrome of cleft palate, coloboma, hypospadias, deafness, short stature, and radial synostosis. This family has been cited in several reports as an example of familial CHARGE syndrome. We do not think that the patients in this family have the Charge syndrome or association. Therefore, we decided to do a follow‐up study on this family to assess the subsequent development of the patients and to determine if they have the CHARGE syndrome. We conclude that our patients do not have familial CHARGE syndrome.
