مستخلص: CHARGE syndrome (Coloboma, Heart defect, Atresia of the choanae, growth Retardation, Genital abnormalities, Ear anomalies/deafness) is a rare genetic autosomal dominant disease with a prevalence of 1/10,000 live births. It is associated with pathogenic variants in the chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 7 (CHD7) gene. Although CHARGE syndrome is known to be associated with esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistulas in 15–20% of cases, there are only a few clinical and molecular case descriptions of CHARGE syndrome in the context of EA. We present two individuals with novel CHD7variants with variable clinical expression of CHARGE syndrome co-occurring with EA. Individual 1had typicalCHARGE syndrome, and a rare type DEA that required direct anastomosis repair. Genetic testing revealed a likely pathogenic essential splice site variant, c.4644+1G > T. Individual 2had a mildCHARGE phenotype and a type AEA that required complex repair via the Foker process. The described expression of previously unreported typical CHD7variants expands the current knowledge of CHARGE syndrome co-occurring with EA that could help with future patient care and genetic counseling. We hope that the description of the previously unreported variant of uncertain significance with a mild CHARGE phenotype will assist future classification efforts of this variant.
