What is TBS?
What is Townes-Brocks Syndrome (TBS)? Townes-Brocks Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder present at birth. Symptoms of the disorder and severity of these symptoms vary from person to person. Major characteristics may include an absence of an anal opening in association with hand, foot and ear abnormalities. Hearing loss or deafness due to lesions or dysfunctions of part of the internal ear or its nerve tracts and centers (sensorineural hearing loss or deafness) is present in some patients. The Townes-Brocks-Syndrome is a very rare syndrome and we are constantly learning from each other and through research about the effects, signs and symptoms of this syndrome.
