Branchio-oto-renal syndrome: identification of a novel mutation in the EYA1 gene.

Abstract excerpt

Branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the association of branchial cysts or fistulae, external ear malformation and/or preauricular pits, hearing loss, and renal anomalies. Mutations in the EYA1 gene, a human homologue of the Drosophila 'eyes absent' gene, have been identified as cause of the syndrome. We report here two families with BOR syndrome. In one family,...
