Photo of a boy age five years with branchiooculofacial syndrome syndrome (BOFS). Details of the molecular findings are reported in Milunsky et al [2008] (patient 3, age two years). He has a right-sided cervical cutaneous defect ("B") that was repaired; bilateral nasolacrimal duct stenosis and hypertelorism ("O"); and bilateral "mini-microform" cleft lip and full nasal tip, with mild upslanting palpebral fissures ("F"). Although he has bilateral bone conduction hearing loss, he prefers traditional aids to bone conduction hearing aids. His smile reveals right-sided lower facial nerve weakness. He attends kindergarten, meeting all of his Individualized Educational Plan goals at the learning center for the deaf. He is very sociable, and both speaks English and signs fluently in American Sign Language.
