Genetic Conditions: Ear, Nose, & Throat



The structures of the ear, nose, and throat are complex and interrelated. They allow a person to make sound, hear, maintain balance, smell, breathe, and swallow. Several genetic conditions can occur when the genes controlling the construction or operation of these structures do not function normally.
