" /> Branchiooculofacial syndrome - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Branchiooculofacial syndrome;

Symbol : BOFS;

CISMeF acronym : BOFS;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Branchial clefts with characteristic facies, growth retardation, imperforate nasolacrimal duct, and premature aging; Hemangiomatous branchial clefts-lip pseudocleft syndrome; Lip pseudocleft-hemangiomatous branchial cyst syndrome; Bof syndrome;

Description : Branchiooculofacial syndrome (BOFS) is characterized by branchial cleft sinus defects, ocular anomalies such as microphthalmia and lacrimal duct obstruction, a dysmorphic facial appearance including cleft or pseudocleft lip/palate, and autosomal dominant inheritance. Although anomalies of the external and middle ear frequently cause conductive hearing loss in BOFS, severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss due to inner ear anomalies has rarely been reported (summary by Tekin et al., 2009). See also chromosome 6pter-p24 deletion syndrome (612582) for a similar phenotype, which lies telomeric to the TFAP2A gene.;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the transcription factor AP2-alpha gene (TFAP2A, 107580.0001);

Prefixed ID : #113620;
