Abstract excerpt
Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS) (OMIM 154500) is a congenital, craniofacial disorder inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. The responsible gene for TCS, TCOF1, was mapped to 5q32-33.1 and identified in 1996. Since then, TCOF1 mutations in patients with TCS have been reported from Europe, North and South America, however, no TCS cases from an Asian country have been molecularly characterized. Here we report...
