Abstract

Introduction: Branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by second branchial arch anomalies, hearing impairment, and renal malformations. Pathogenic mutations have been discovered in several genes such as EYA1, SIX5, and SIXI. However, nearly half of those affected reveal no pathogenic variant by traditional genetic testing.
