Extractions: W hilst searching on the internet for information about Treacher Collins Syndrome I found very little non-technical / clinical information, and even less information from a personal point of view. Most sites I did find were of support groups and most were in the US. W hen I was born with TCS I expect my parents would have appreciated a little more information and advice. I don't think they got much support at all. In fact I think they were faced with many blank looks from people who weren't quite sure what to make of me! A s I have now started my own homepage I thought I would try to compile some information and gather some links that might be of use to people with TCS or their families. I hope it may also be used as a meeting point for those people (Until very recently I had never spoken to anyone with TCS), and also help those who are lucky enough to live without it understand a little more about it. It is amazing how most people are afraid to ask! I would appreciate it if you would sign the guestbook, which can be found in the utilities page, especially if you have TCS or have a family member with it. Please give me feedback on where you are from, how (if at all) you are connected with TCS, how useful you found the site and any suggestions for improvements. Also if you have any further information or links which could be added, please let me know. If you have a TCS related site of your own, please join the

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.
