Özet

Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is an autosomal dominant disorder of craniofacial development with an incidence of 1/50,000 live births. Mutations of the TCOF1 gene have been found to be responsible for most cases of this mandibulofacial disorder. Here we report TCS in an individual who has a heterozygous c.1021-1022delAG deletion in exon 7 of the TCOF1 gene (NG-011341.1). This is the second Turkish patient with a severe TCS phenotype resulting from a de novo c.1021-1022delAG mutation.
