Abstract excerpt
Branchio-oto-renal (BOR) and Branchio-otic (BO) syndromes are dominant disorders characterized by variable hearing impairment (HI) and branchial defects. BOR includes additional kidney malformations. BO/BOR syndromes are genetically heterogeneous and caused by mutations in EYA1 and SIX1 genes. Mutation in SIX1 is responsible also for DFNA23, a locus for non-syndromic HI. Strikingly, the severity of the phenotype...
