See a geneticist: Digeorge syndrome has the potential to cause abnormalities in many systems. Affected individuals can have cardiac defects, immune defects, endocrine defects, cleft palate, and psychiatric disease. An expert geneticist would be ideal to coordinate appropriate evaluation. Digeorge syndrome is typically caused by deletion of part of chromosome 22.

Digeorge Syndrome: You must have fairly mild syndrome if it has not been picked up until now. I agree with earlier response regarding geneticist. Other treatment /care would depend on the specific conditions you have related to Digeorge Syndrome. There can be problems with hearing, vision, breathing, renal function, immune function, facial abnormalities, heart defects, cleft palate & lip, learning & mental issues
