Townes-Brocks syndrome

Townes-Brocks syndrome is a malformation syndrome which includes the cardinal symptoms imperforate anus, dysplastic ears, and thumb malformations. Occasionally seen are hearing loss, foot malformations, renal impairment, genitourinary malformations, and congenital heart disease. Two genes are known so far to cause this disorder which shows some overlap with branchiootorenal dysplasia.
