Has anyone heard of this, does anyone's child have it? I think my son does, he was born without a hole in his bottom, and has moderate hearing loss and wears hearing aids.

Haven't heard of it, but try posting on the special needs boards here.
Contact a family's website is usually good for rare disorders www.cafamily.org.uk/index.php?section=861 YOU might even be able to contact the Dr's who originally identified the syndrome.

My son has a rare genetic condition (not as rare as this one though) and I found an online support group based in america.

Good luck x
