The review highlights several important aspects of CS which have significant impacts on quality of life and long\u2010term health outcomes but may be missed, including vestibular function and balance, gastrointestinal dysmotility, bone health, pain and postural orthostatic tachycardia. Aspects of neurodevelopment and mental health are reviewed, with a focus on cognitive assessment and anxiety disorders and a multimodal approach to communication. Issues relating to adolescence and the transitional period are discussed, highlighting the importance of support groups and resources.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpc.70443","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,1]],"date-time":"2026-06-01T06:30:03Z","timestamp":1780295403000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["CHARGE Syndrome: A Narrative Review and Update on Diagnosis, Assessment and Management"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"given":"Eleni M.","family":"van Gelder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Genetics Liverpool Hospital  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8844-4292","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suzanna E.
