Abstract
- Townes-Brocks syndrome (TBS) is an autosomal dominant disorder with multiple malformations which include dysplastic ears, hearing loss, preaxial polydactyly and/or triphalangeal thumbs, imperforate anus, renal anomalies, congenital heart defects, and mental retardation. However, hypothyroidism is not a common feature of TBS. There have been only three reported cases of TBS associated with hypothyroidism. We report the first case of TBS associated with hypothyroidism in Korea.
