Char syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by a triad of facial dysmorphism, heart defects, and hand anomalies. The syndrome was first described by Char in a child who presented with characteristic facial features associated with patent ductus arteriosus. This condition, due to its rarity and variability of clinical presentations shared with other syndromes, poses unique diagnostic challenges to clinicians. This activity delves into the complexities of Char syndrome, its clinical presentation, mode of inheritance, genetic underpinnings, diagnosis, and management. It also explores the pathophysiology of Char syndrome, particularly the complications associated with cardiac defects caused by the TFAP2B mutation. Promising avenues for future research in this multifaceted condition are reviewed. Participants gain comprehensive knowledge about Char syndrome, enhancing their ability to provide informed and effective care to patients with this rare genetic disorder.
