Treacher Collins Syndrome
author
Abstract:
Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is a genetic disease that alters the development of bones and other tissues in the face, and presents variable expressivity. At least three genes TCOF1, POLR1D, and POLR1C were recognized to be at the origin of this syndrome which may be inherited through either an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive pattern. TCS changes can be divided into otological, ophthalmic and dental malformations. Dental abnormalities occur in 60% of cases and may appear as tooth agenesis, enamel opacities, widely-spaced teeth, skeletal open bite, distalization of the mandible, bird profile, ectopic eruption of maxillary first molars, improper positioning of the teeth and jaw, and hypoplasia of the mandible jaw. Receding chin and other changes in face structure can be corrected by plastic surgery. As multiple body systems are affected in TCS, long-term follow-up care and the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team care is necessary in order to achieve better physical and psychosocial performances.

The autosomal dominant hereditary Treacher Collins syndrome manifests itself phenotypically in dysmorphogenesis of particularly the first, but also the second branchial arch system. Consequently, 50% of patients with Treacher Collins syndrome have a congenital, generally pure conductive hearing loss resulting from a major or minor ear anomaly. The outcome of surgery to improve patients' hearing...

Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of craniofacial development. Major features include midface hypoplasia, micrognathia, microtia, conductive hearing loss, and cleft palate. The present study is on the orofacial features of 7 Brazilian patients with sporadic TCS aged 4 to 38 years. All patients presented the typical down-slanting palpebral fissures, colobomas,...

TreacherCollins Syndrome (TCS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of craniofacial morphogenesis. The frequency of TCS is 1 in 50,000 live births. Approximately half of cases arise as a result of sporadic mutation; the rest are familial. TCS is caused by a mutation in a TCOFI gene on chromosomes 5q31.3-32. The severely affected persons show classic physical characteristics and mildly affected...

Treacher Collins syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of craniofacial development. The fully expressed phenotype exhibits characteristic dysmorphic features involving the face, eyes, mandible and ears. We report a case of a 17-year-old woman presenting with the typical orofacial implications of this syndrome.
