Acronyms
warning

"Branchio-otic syndrome (also known as BOS, BOS1, BO syndrome 1 and branchiootic dysplasia) is a rare autosomal dominant disease. It manifests as abnormalities of the second branchial arch, with predominant abnormalities of the ear. No renal disease is seen, in contradistinction to its close namesake branchio-oto-renal dysplasia (BOR), with which there is broad overlap in clinical presentation, pathogenesis and management approach 1."

Line 1:67 · 'BOS' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.
