In the present study, we consulted and followed up a Chinese boy with multiple deformities and
clinically diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome. Molecular genetic analysis identified a new frameshift-
causing deletion of CHD7, resulting in a truncated form of CHD7 protein. The clinical symptoms
and the description of treatment in the present case, combined with genetic test and functional
prediction of CHD7, are helpful for further understanding and genetic counseling of the CHARGE
syndrome.
