  • My son was 3 years of age when diagnosed with DIgeorge syndrome! He had open heart surgery at 7 weeks old to fix an ASD and VSD, multiple surgeries with his ears, and just recently surgery to fix his cleft pallet common in DiGeroge Syndrome Children. He doesn't speak but signs and is the most amazing kid ever. God bless all the lil ones out there going through it, and even more God Bless the parents, you'll need it! Good luck!

  • It can range from mild to very severe..

  • Described in 1968 by geneticist Angelo Di George

    The syndrome is caused by a deletion of a small piece of chromosome 22 near the middle at an area called q11.2 it is estimated that it affects 1 in 4000 though doctors reckon this to be higher as a lot of people may only have light symptoms and have never been tested.

  • My son was born on the 26.07.05 and was diagnosed with Di George syndrome he was Oxygen dependant , needed fed through a nasal gastric tube and had to have open heart surgery for a hole in the heart.

    Since age 3 he has gone from strength to strength he is now in his pre school year and although his language is still slow he makes himself very clear on what he wants to do.

    Wee josh looks very happy great vid

  • I just did a quick look on google and it stands for "velocardiofacial syndrome", hope everything goes well with your precious children....

    best wishes

  • what is VCFS?

  • My daughter has VCFS, and we have just recently gotten this diagnosis. She was born on 11-22-2006. I had never even heard of this disease until the doctor called to tell us her results. I felt so lost...and empty. I love my little girl more than life, and was terrified of all the things she might have to face. She has only very mild symptoms, so far. We are awaiting test results for our other daughter. I hope that more people watch this, and get informed about VCFS. God Bless!
