Affiliated tissues include spinal cord, and related mouse phenotypes are renal/urinary system and skeleton. NIH Rare Diseases: Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) describes a group of conditions that are characterized by compression of the nerves, arteries, and veins in the lower neck and upper chest area.
