Historical Perspective
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]
DGS is one of several syndromes that has historically grouped under a bigger umbrella called 22q11 deletion syndromes, which include Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, Cayler cardiofacial syndrome, Sedlackova syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome, and DGS. Although the genetic etiology of these syndromes may be the same, varying phenotypes has supported the use of different nomenclature in the past, which has led to confusion in diagnosing patients with DGS, which causes potentially catastrophic delays in diagnosis.[2]. Current literature supports the use of the names of these syndromes interchangeably.
