Overview
Historical Perspective
Discovery
DGS characteristics were first described in 1828 but adequately reported later in 1965 by Dr. Angelo DiGeorge, as a clinical trial that included immunodeficiency, hypoparathyroidism, and congenital heart disease.[1]
- Harrington [2] first noted the association between thymic aplasia and DiGeorge syndrome in 1829 and later Lobdell[3] noted its association with congenital hypoparathyroidism in 1959.
- DiGeorge had evaluated 29 patients by 1979 and the next important publication on DGS was that of Conley et al[4] on the which described the spectrum of DGS. Conley's series also noted both the association of DGS with CHARGE association and of DGS and holoprosencephaly/arhinencephaly.
- Conley et al[4] pointed out the association of DGS with conotruncal cardiac defects in 1979.
- In terms of pathogenesis and aetiology, Lammer and Opitz[5] reviewed various mechanisms in 1986. DGA can occur because of various chromosome abnormalities like mendelian disorders (including velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) and Zellweger syndrome), teratogenic exposure (alcohol, maternal diabetes, retinoids), and other associations (CHARGE associations and with Kallmann syndrome or with holoprosencephaly) (the latter two may be a spectrum of the same defect).
- Historically, DGS was grouped within a sphere of other syndromes such as Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, Cayler cardiofacial syndrome, Sedlackova syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome, and DGS, collectively called 22q11 deletion syndromes. They have the same genetic etiology but their varying phenotypes has has led to confusion in diagnosing patients with DGS, which causes potentially catastrophic delays in diagnosis.[6]
