Title An Unconventional Presentation of Branchio-Oculo-Facial Syndrome. [hsrc.himmelfarb.gwu.edu]
Hing et al10 described a patient presenting multiple malformations and AVSD resembling BOFS. He presented some atypical findings such as holoprosencephaly and meningoencephalocele. [scielo.br]
We present an 18-day old boy with bilateral cervical cutaneous defect in the retroauricular region, low-set and posteriorly rotated ears, bilateral microphtalmia and bilateral pseudocleft of the upper lip. [miami.pure.elsevier.com]
The authors present the case of an infant with an unconventional presentation of BOFS to highlight key distinguishing features of this disorder, and to emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and management of these patients [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Children who reach puberty early tend to have short stature as adults. McCune-Albright syndrome may also affect the thyroid. The thyroid gland, located at the base of the neck, may become enlarged. [chop.edu]

Atrial Septal defect and Tetralogy of Fallot’s have been described in association with BOFS(1,2). Neuro-development is normal; cases of moderate to severe retardation with hypotonia, visual, hearing and speech problems have been reported. [indianpediatrics.net]
However, in our review, we found four confirmed cases of BOFS presenting CHD which included: ostium secundum atrial septal defect (two cases)3,7, tetralogy of Fallot (one case)5 and pulmonary valve stenosis (one case)8 (Table 1). [scielo.br]
- Surgical Procedure
Further medication and surgical procedures may be required to treat the kidney issues Life-long monitoring of the symptoms may be required in individuals with the disorder. [dovemed.com]
A surgical procedure known as the LeFort procedure is carried out when the child has grown substantially to correct the concave appearance of the mid-face region. [cleft.ie]

However, in our review, we found four confirmed cases of BOFS presenting CHD which included: ostium secundum atrial septal defect (two cases)3,7, tetralogy of Fallot (one case)5 and pulmonary valve stenosis (one case)8 (Table 1). [scielo.br]

Treatment
Management and treatment Management is symptomatic and includes combined treatments for hearing impairment and for skin lesions. Prognosis Prognosis is function of the severity of associated manifestations. [orpha.net]

Etiology
More generally, our results highlight potential etiological mechanisms for other human NC-related abnormalities and illustrate how structural variation can lead to a loss of enhancer-gene interactions and, consequently, to pathological changes in gene [papers.ssrn.com]
Etiology BOFS is caused by mutations involving the gene TFAP2A (transcription factor AP-2 alpha; 6p24). Diagnostic methods Diagnosis is clinical and may be confirmed by DNA analysis. [orpha.net]
More generally, our results highlight potential etiological mechanisms for other human neurocristopathies and illustrate how TAD disruption can lead to a loss of enhancer gene-interactions and, consequently, to pathological changes in gene expression. [omictools.com]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology It was estimated that only about 50 cases of BOFS have been documented in the medical literature as of 2004. [4] References [ipfs.io]
Summary Epidemiology About fifty cases have been reported so far. [orpha.net]
Chapters on epidemiology, embryology, non-syndromic hearing loss, and syndromic forms of hearing loss have all been updated with particular attention to the vast amount of new information on molecular mechanisms, and chapters on clinical and molecular [books.google.de]

This syndrome is restricted to the face, but it can also cause underdeveloped or malformed kidneys. [3] Pathophysiology and genetics The disease is genetically inherited and stems from a mutation that deletes the TFAP2A gene. [ipfs.io]

Prevention
“We can prevent these things from happening,” Anderson says. “And we’ll still have good athletes and a good game of football.” Of course, prevention requires change. And it’s unclear how far college football is willing to go. [theguardian.com]
The Fragile-X mutation results in an FMR1 gene that is switched off, which means that FMRP is no longer produced, preventing normal neuronal development. Symptoms of Fragile-X syndrome are more severe in males compared with females. [yourgenome.org]
