Informations about the disease
Treacher-Collins syndrome is a rare developmental disorder in which malformations of the face (eyelids, eye malpositions, colobomas, zygomatic bone, mandible defects, cleft palate), head and neck are observed. Often there is also hearing loss caused by malformations of the outer and inner ear. The disease is rarely inherited autosomal recessively, mostly autosomal dominantly, with high but incomplete penetrance and variable expressiveness. The diagnostic yield is about 97%, which is achieved almost exclusively by DNA sequence analysis, very rarely deletions are found. An inconspicuous genetic finding therefore does not mean an absolutely reliable exclusion of the clinical suspected diagnosis.
