My 15 year old son has DeGeorge Syndrome. I wonder if my 17 year old son could be a "carrier" of the syndrome. Meaning, could he later have a child with DeGeorge Syndrome?

I found the following article that does suggest the traits can be inherited - http://molehr.oxfordjournals.org/cgi...nt/4/9/871.pdf
There is research going on in the U.S. and in the UK about the genetics of this syndrome. I think your best answer is going to come from a genetics counselor. There are many articles one can read but that will not give you THE answer that is for your family and needs.

As the Doctor told me, My Grandson will carry the gene. That will be something you and your son will have to talk about.
