Dr. Hartshorne has been interested in CHARGE Syndrome since 1989 when his son was born with the syndrome. When it became increasingly clear in the mid-1990s that many children with CHARGE develop severe behavioral problems, he began to devote most of his research to this problem. In addition to his publications on CHARGE, he has presented at every U.S. CHARGE conference, every Australasian conference, the European conference, Scandinavian conference, and conferences in several other countries. In 2005 he was awarded the Star in CHARGE by the CHARGE Syndrome Foundation.
