Extractions: The National Craniofacial Association P. O. Box 11082 * Chattanooga, TN 37401 Treacher Collins Syndrome What is Treacher Collins Syndrome? Treacher Collins Syndrome, also called mandibulofacial dysostosis, affects the head and face. Characteristics include: Most children with Treacher Collins have normal development and intelligence; however, it is important that there be early hearing tests. Most children with Treacher Collins Syndrome benefit from early intervention speech and language programs. Why did this happen? Treacher Collins Syndrome is believed to be caused by a change in the gene on chromosome 5, which affects facial development. About 40 percent of the time, one parent has the Treacher Collins Syndrome gene. Geneticists can now determine whether the Treacher Collins gene is a new mutation or one that has been passed on. Will this happen to children I have in the future?

Extractions: Treacher Collins Syndrome Treacher Collins Syndrome is a birth defect that has several characteristic features including underdeveloped cheek and jaw bones, misshapen or missing ears and down slanting eyes. It can vary in severity from a very subtle presentation that may go unrecognized to the more severe cases that are noticed immediately and may present with related problems. Treacher Collins Syndrome is a genetic condition occurring in approximately 1 of 10,000 births. It may occur as a spontaneous mutation out of genetically normal parents or it may be inherited from one of the parents. A spontaneous mutation occurs very early in development and presently there is no link between a mothers activities and the condition. If one parent is affected there is a 50% chance of passing it on to the offspring. EVALUATION AND TREATMENT As in all craniofacial deformities, treatment requires a multidisciplinary team working closely together with the family to attain the best functional and aesthetic result possible. In the newborn/infancy period, treatment is aimed at preventing problems with breathing, feeding, and hearing.

Summary Treacher Collins syndrome (also called mandibulofacial dysostosis and Franceschetti Syndrome) is a highly complex disease process. The basic etiology is unknown, but it is generally thought to be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with variable penetrance. It is characterized by hypoplasia of the facial bones, especially the zygoma and the mandible. Facial clefting causes this hypoplastic appearance, with possible deformities or deficiencies of the ear, orbital, midface, and lower jaw regions. The clinical appearance is a result of the zygoma (malar bone) failing to fuse with the maxilla, frontal, and temporal bones. Highly variant degrees of involvement (complete, incomplete, and abortive forms) can be seen, but common facial features may include: Hypoplastic cheeks, zygomatic

Extractions: Malformation of the ear Although the severity of this syndrome can vary, the problems faced by a child with Treacher Collins can be quite complicated and require the attention of a professional with experience with these types of patients. In the early years, patients often have difficulty maintaining an open airway and may need some assistance with obtaining adequate nutrition. In most cases as the patient grows and matures structurally, these problems are alleviated. Also,the malformation of the upper and lower jaws most often results in a malocclusion of the bite. A Treacher Collins patient can also have impaired hearing depending upon the extent to which the deformity effects the formation of the ears. There may be a cleft of the palate as well. Causes: Treacher Collins is caused by autosomal dominant inheritance of the "Treachle gene" which is located on chromosome 5. The children of an affected parent have a 50% risk of having the syndrome. If the parents of the affected child are not effected by the syndrome, the chances of a sibling having Treacher Collins is minimal.

AN OVERVIEW treacher collins syndrome AN OVERVIEW. Some information about treacher collins syndrome is still unknown, and therefore not addressed in this booklet. http://www.treachercollinsfnd.org/e_reich.htm
Extractions: This booklet on Treacher Collins syndrome was written by Elsa Reich, M.S., who is a genetic counselor and Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at New York University School of Medicine. In addition, she is the genetic consultant for the multidisciplinary craniofacial team associated with the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at NYU Medical Center, which is directed by Joseph McCarthy, M.D. While the emphasis in this booklet is on the genetic aspects of Treacher Collins syndrome, other information about the disorder is also included. However, this is not an all-inclusive text on the multidisciplinary aspects of the syndrome. All the information presented is current as of the date of printing. Some information about Treacher Collins syndrome is still unknown, and therefore not addressed in this booklet. Addenda to this booklet will be available as advances are made in the disciplines which serve patients with Treacher Collins syndrome. If, after reading the material presented, you find that your questions are still unanswered, we strongly encourage you to address your concerns and questions with your professionals. We at the Treacher Collins Foundation are eager to know if this booklet has been helpful.

Treacher Collins syndrome is sometimes called Mandibulofacial Dysostosis. Mandibulofacial Dysostosis describes some of the features of this syndrome. Mandibulo refers to the lower jaw, and facial to the face. Dysostosis means that certain bones are not formed normally. The lower jaw and cheekbones are often smaller than usual (also known as mandibular hypoplasia and malar hypoplasia respectively). Other possible features of Treacher Collins syndrome? Treacher Collins syndrome is associated with lower eyelid coloboma, which means a small notch missing from the lower eyelid. About half of people with Treacher Collins syndrome are missing some eyelashes on the lower eyelid. Differences in the way the ear is formed, such as absence of the external auditory canal or microtia (small ear), ear tags (extra bits of skin in front of the ear) and little pits near the ear are common. Hearing loss of varying degrees may also occur. While it is unusual to have a cleft lip and palate with Treacher Collins syndrome, cleft palate alone is not an unusual finding occurring in about a third of people with Treacher Collins syndrome. Learning problems are not normally associated with Treacher Collins syndrome.
Extractions: helpful? yes no Treacher Collins syndrome: Mandibulo Dysostosis; Franceschetti-Klein It is a genetic condition characterised by malformed cheek bones, chin, nose, and jaw. Features include: drooping eyelids which may be associated with a nick in the lower lid; variable degrees of malformed or absent ears, the middle ear may also be malformed or missing causing conductive deafness; receding chin at birth; hairline and palate may also be unusual (cleft palate or choanal atresia may occur in severe cases). Associated problems may include dental, breathing and eye infections. Three similar conditions are: Nager which is a syndrome with similar mandibular dysostosis anomalies to Treacher Collins but with additional arm and digital anomalies: Aural atresia of the ears (congenital imperforation of the normal channel or pathological closure of the channel in the ears): First and second arch syndromes which are inclusive titles for developmental errors of the facial bones and which include Treacher Collins syndrome.
