%X Branchio-oculo-facial syndrome (BOFS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by craniofacial, ocular, and ectodermal anomalies. BOFS is caused by mutation of the transcription factor AP2-alpha gene (TFAP2A). We performed detailed genetic analysis of a Japanese family with clinically suspected BOFS and identified a novel missense mutation resulting in a predicted amino-acid substitution in the highly conserved basic DNA-binding domain of TFAP2A (NM_003220.2:c.699A>C)
