catalog of human genes and disorders Information Information and support for DiGeorge syndrome GeneClinics a medical genetics resource DIGEORGE SYNDROME is a rare congenital (i.e. present at birth) disease whose symptoms vary greatly between individuals, but commonly include a history of recurrent infection, heart defects and characteristic facial features. DiGeorge syndrome is caused by a large deletion from chromosome 22, produced by an error in recombination at meiosis (the process that creates germ cells and ensures genetic variation in the offspring). This deletion means that several genes from this region are not present in DiGeorge syndrome patients. It appears that the variation in the symptoms of the disease is related to the amount of genetic material lost in the chromosomal deletion. Although researchers now know that the DGS gene is required for the normal development of the thymus and related glands, counteracting the loss of DGS is difficult. Some effects, for example, the cardiac problems and some of the speech impairments, can be treated either surgically or therapeutically, but the loss of immune-system T-cells (produced by the thymus) is more challenging, and requires further research on recombination and immune function.

Syndrome DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) Synonyms DiGeorge anomaly DiGeorge sequence familial third and fourth pharyngeal pouch syndrome pharyngeal pouch syndrome third and fourth pharyngeal pouch syndrome thymic aplasia syndrome thymic and parathyroid agenesis syndrome Summary A developmental defect of derivatives of the third and fourth pharyngeal pouches, almost always associated with agenesis or hypoplasia of the thymus and parathyroid gland, characteristic facies with downslanting palpebral fissures and ocular and nasal anomalies, hypocalcemia, cardiovascular anomalies, immunodeficiency, and other variable abnormalities. Patients who survive infancy are usually mentally retarded. DiGeorge syndrome is considered by some researchers as a developmental field defect consisting of several casually distinct disorders, rather than a distinct syndromic entity. Conditions associated with the development of DiGeorge syndrome include diabetic embryopathy, fetal alcohol syndrome, and Zellweger syndrome. Major features of this syndrome have been designated by the Newcastle Upon Tyne Group CATCH 22 (Cardiac, Abnormal facies, Thymic hypoplasia, Cleft palate, and Hypocalcemia), the number 22 indicating deletion of the long arm of chromosome 22 (22q11). Major Features Head and neck: Micrognathia.

Thymus tissue heals DiGeorge syndrome.(Brief Article) Author/s: N.S. Issue: Nov 20, 1999 The rare baby born without a thymus gland can't defend itself. In the thymus, which sits atop the heart, the body's T cells learn the most important lessons of immunology: which cells to attack and which to let live. Without a thymus, a baby had no chance to live beyond a few years, until now. Infants missing all or part of a thymus have DiGeorge syndrome. Babies with even a small thymus usually survive.

What is DiGeorge syndrome?
What is DiGeorge Syndrome? DiGeorge syndrome is characterized by a few specific cardiac malformations, a sub-set of facial attributes, and certain endocrine and immune anomalies. bodyOffer(20401) The cause of DiGeorge syndrome has been identified as a submicroscopic deletion of chromosome 22 in the DiGeorge chromosomal region. It is classified along with velo-cardio-facial syndrome (Shprintzen syndrome) and conotruncal anomaly face syndrome as a 22q11 microdeletion and is sometimes referred to by the simple name 22q11 syndrome. People with DiGeorge syndrome may have the following congenital heart lesions: tetralogy of Fallot, interrupted aortic arch type B, truncus arteriosus, aberrant left subclavian artery, right infundibular stenosis, or ventricular septal defect. 74% of patients with 22q11 syndrome have conotruncal malformations. 69% of patients are found to have palatal abnormalities including velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI), submucosal cleft palate, and cleft palate. Some of the facial characteristics of DiGeorge syndrome are bifid uvula, high-arched palate, small mouth and wide set eyes, down-slanting eyes, hooded eyes, long face, malar flatness, cupped low set ears, bulbous nasal tip, and a dimpled or bifurcated nasal tip. Not all people with a 22q11 microdeletion display all, or indeed, any, of these characteristics.

Gene that helps form baby's blood vessels is key player in birth defect disease THURSDAY, Feb. 6 (HealthScoutNews) A gene that helps blood vessels form in developing babies is a key player in a chromosomal abnormality that causes birth defects in the heart and throughout the body. An international study in the February issue of Nature Medicine says that abnormalities in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are a cause of DiGeorge syndrome. This syndrome can cause a wide range of heart defects. It can also cause mental retardation, problems in the thymus and parathyroid gland, and craniofacial defects. Finding out how and why abnormalities occur in VEGF may help scientists find ways to prevent them. In this study, scientists studied animals, including mice and zebra fish, and DNA samples from people with DiGeorge syndrome.
