Growth in CHARGE association.
Growth data is shown from 44 children (aged 0.5-18 years; 27 boys, 17 girls) with CHARGE association. Children had a normal birth weight and length, but in infancy there was a fall in centiles. Children remained small and there was pubertal delay in boys. Close monitoring of growth with early detection and intervention is recommended.
