Objective: To explore the genetic etiology for a Chinese pedigree affected with Treacher-Collins syndrome (TCS) through whole exome sequencing (WES).
Methods: A TCS pedigree which was diagnosed at the Women and Children's Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University on February 5, 2020 was selected as the study subject. Following collection of clinical data, WES was carried out. Candidate variant was validated through Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis.
Results: The WES results showed that the proband has harbored a heterozygous c.3337C>T variant of the TCOF1 gene, and Sanger sequencing confirmed that his mother and brother also carried the same variant. Based on guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the variant was predicted as pathogenic (PVS1+PM2_Supporting+PP4).
Conclusion: The heterozygous c.3337C>T variant of the TCOF1 gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of TCS in this pedigree.

Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is a rare congenital craniofacial disorder with variable penetrance and high genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the , , and genes, and its major characteristic features are malar and mandibular hypoplasia, downward slanting of the palpebral fissures, and conductive hearing loss. In this study, five patients (two males and three females, age range from 2 to 29 years) with TCS were tested by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based sequencing and clinically characterized.

Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is a rare congenital craniofacial disorder, typically inherited as an autosomal dominant condition. Here, we report on a family in which germline mosaicism for TCS was likely present. The proband was diagnosed with TCS based on the typical clinical features and a pathogenic variant (c.

Background: Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS; OMIM 154500) is a craniofacial developmental disorder.
Methods: To investigate the genetic features of a four-generation Chinese family with TCS, clinical examinations, hearing tests, computed tomography, whole-exome sequencing (WES), Sanger sequencing, reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, and the Minigene assay were performed.
Results: The probands, an 11-year-old male and his cousin exhibited typical clinical manifestations of TCS including conductive hearing loss, downward slanting palpebral fissures, and mandibular hypoplasia.
