[edit] I have it

I was diagnosed with CHARGE when I was born. I am a highly intelligent and healthy person too. And my ace isn't disfigured. Well, it was at birth, but not now. What thinks of you of that?! --74.129.222.94 05:10, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

This comment is not constructive to this article. Every situation, especially with a genetic disorder, affects a personal differently. Both environmental and hereditary factors contribute to the final health product of an individual. Best of luck in the future. WiiAlbanyGirl 07:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Patau syndrome by another name

Is this another name for Patau syndrome?

No, although they share some features in common. --WS 10:41, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bear with Me

In the event that anyone is looking at this article and reviewing the academic credentials of this article, I promise that soon, it will no longer be a "stub". I have some great resources on the Major and Minor symptoms of CHARGE syndrome, and how these are used in diagnosing. I will soon be working on this, as I have a plane to catch (literally) in 3 hours. So please, bear with me. I will be elaborating this slowly, but surely. Cheers!

Wii - do you have a specific interest in CHARGE? Nice to see more and more professionals becoming interested! (I have a daughter with CHARGE)

Hello there! I actually am a public health student, studying epidemiology, and going off to Medical School next year. I heard about CHARGE through television, and I wanted to learn more and educate more. I think this is a misunderstood condition, and the more people know, the better our society can become, both for those affected and society in general. Best of luck to you and your daughter!!

Hi there! It's important to note the subtle but crucial difference between signs (which are objectively observed) and symptoms (which are subjective to the patient). I've made some changes in this vein. Congrats on a great article. --Conor 23:50, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
