Extractions: Treacher Collins Sydrome: Physical Traits: Treacher Collins syndrome presents with different severities. That is, sometimes the syndrome is so mild that it is hard to tell if a child even has the syndrome. Other times, it can be quite severe. The following is a list of traits that a child may, or may not have. Some children may be born without a soft palate (back part of the roof of the mouth) and small, or absent thumbs. These children may have what is called Nager variant.

Extractions: to the HONcode principles of the Health On the Net Foundation At a time when thousands are clamoring for the chance to win extreme makeovers on reality television shows, Amie Osborn faces a quite different reality. Osborn (pictured above) has Treacher Collins syndrome - a genetic, craniofacial birth defect that is marked by downward slanting eyes, a small lower jaw and malformed or missing ears. One in every 10,000 babies is born with the disfiguring syndrome, which can cause hearing, breathing and eating problems, as well as social issues. "Many people assume that people with Treacher Collins are not normal because they don't look `normal,'" Osborn says. "The truth is people with Treacher Collins are a lot less different than people may assume based on their looks." Osborn, 25, has made it her personal mission to educate the public about Treacher Collins and prove that looks can be deceiving. Osborn at UT Medical School graduation ceremonies. (Photo by Meredith Raine) She has a web site , which eventually led to the formation of a Treacher Collins support network. On June 3 and again on June 5, she will be among six people who will be featured in a Discovery Channel documentary called "Unmasked: Treacher Collins Syndrome."

Extractions: Ever since her son was born two years ago with the condition, Christina Goldman has been amazed by the lack of resources, support for and information about Treacher Collins Syndrome in Canada. "There's absolutely nothing in Canada," she says. "Not even a database on how to get in contact with the right physicians. We don't have anything with families who've had experience with the syndrome, no success stories. We don't even have data on how many people have Treacher Collins, or what complications there might be or how to deal with them…" Christina believes there is a real need get the word out about Treacher Collins and is actively seeking to raise awareness of both the syndrome and related medical issues such as tracheostomy, g-tube feeds, and surgeries. "There are so many who have medical related issues who need an advocate in my area alone," she says. A film telling the family's story recently aired on CBC. Christina has also just created a Web site which includes information on the family's personal experience and the medical issues related to Treacher Collins.

Synonyms: Mandibulofacial dysostosis Treacher Collins syndrome is a disorder of craniofacial development. Intelligence is usually normal. It is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable expression. More than half of all cases are thought to be new mutations because there is no family history of the disease. There is a great deal of clinical and genetic variation Incidence Approximately 1 in 50,000 live births Presentation Signs Features include abnormal eye shape (palpebral fissure, antimongoloid slant), eye defects (coloboma that extends into the lower lid), decreased eyelashes on the lower eyelid, small jaw, large mouth, abnormal (sometimes almost complete absence) low-set ears, scalp hair extends onto cheeks and flat cheekbones (hypoplastic zygomatic arches). Conductive hearing loss and cleft palate are often present.
