Townes-Brocks Syndrome Support Group

Support group details

Group Description: The Townes-Brocks Syndrome Group is an International Support Network created to help support those affected by the syndrome. It is an online group only. It was created due to the need to connect and share with those who have the very rare genetic disease, and their families, in a safe environment. There is minimal information regarding the syndrome on the internet. Some is correct and some is not. Because it is so rare, many medical professionals are not aware of the condition, or how extreme it can be. Fortunately, Professor Juergen Kohlase of Freiburg, Germany keeps the group updated with new publications etc. The group is not amalgamated with any other TBS group. However, health organisations ie NORD USA, list our online details as a go between.

Who can Join: Private & confidential group for people or parents dealing with the genetic diagnosis of Townes-Brocks.

Group Focus: Townes-Brocks Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder present at birth.
