Talk:DiGeorge syndrome/Old history

DiGeorge Syndrome is a medical term for a set of symptoms which are part of what is now understood to be 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. Angelo DiGeorge, for whom the syndrome is named, described four children in 1965 with the triad of thymic hypoplasia, hypoparathyroidism, and recurrent infection. As further cases were investigated, the syndrome came to be known as DiGeorge association, and to encompass congenital cardiac anomalies, craniofacial malformations, and learning dysfunction due to defects in the third and fourth pharyngeal pouches during embryogenesis.
