A rare condition. A wealth of answers.
The Complete Guide to Branchio-Oto-Renal Syndrome (BORS) is more than a book - it's a life-changing tool for families, educators, healthcare providers, and friends who want to understand and support someone with BORS.
Branchio-Oto-Renal Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder affecting the ears, neck, and kidneys. For families receiving a new diagnosis, questions can feel overwhelming. What does this mean for my child's health? Will they struggle at school? What tests are needed? Who can help us? This guide was written to answer those questions - and more - with clarity, compassion, and hope.
Whether you are a parent facing diagnosis, a teacher supporting a student, a medical professional seeking a family-friendly explanation, or someone who cares about a loved one, this book brings together everything you need to know - from the science of genetics to everyday realities.
Inside you'll discover:
✔ Understanding BORS - What it is, how it affects ears, neck, and kidneys, and why it varies from person to person.
✔ Genetics Made Simple - Clear explanations of inheritance, causes, and the role of genes like EYA1, SIX1, and SIX5.
✔ Symptoms & Signs - From ear pits and hearing loss to neck fistulas and kidney differences.
✔ Testing & Diagnosis - Guidance on hearing tests, kidney scans, genetic testing, and other evaluations.

✔ Family Life with BORS - Tips for school, wellbeing, siblings, and building a strong care network.
Why this guide is different:
- Easy to read - Medical language translated into plain terms.
- Comprehensive - From early diagnosis through adulthood.
- Supportive - Resources and practical advice for families and professionals.
- Hopeful - Focused on thriving, not just surviving.
