Brief report First Online: 01 March 2014 Abstract A 16-day-old girl with Waardenburg syndrome type 1 presented with a right multicystic dysplastic kidney (MDK) and hydronephrosis in the left kidney.[link.springer.com]
Synophrys is often present and the medial portions of the eyebrows can be exceptionally bushy. Sometimes the poliosis involves the lashes and eyebrows. Systemic Features: Congenital sensorineural deafness is an important feature.[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Synonyms WAARDENBURG SYNDROME WITH DYSTOPIA CANTHORUM Classification developmental, eye, genetic, otorhinolaryngological, skin Phenotypes Aplasia of the vagina ; Autosomal dominant inheritance ; Blepharophimosis ; Blue irides ; Congenital sensorineural hearing[mousephenotype.org]
Treatment or Management of the Condition There are no treatments of the syndrome; however, hearing aids maybe needed for some individuals and maybe some sort of schooling for the hearingimpaired individuals.[wiki.ggc.edu]
Family history revealed hearingimpairment in the elder sister and premature graying of the frontal hair with a broad nasal root in both the siblings and the mother.[tjmrjournal.org]
This disease is grouped under: Waardenburg syndrome type 1 is a genetic condition characterized by eyes that appear widely spaced, congenital hearing loss, and patchy pigment disturbances of the iris, hair and skin. 0000504 Congenital sensorineural hearing[rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
For example, a person with WS may have a white forelock, a patch of white hair near the forehead, and no hearingimpairment. Others may have white patches of skin and severe hearingimpairment.[daviddarling.info]
graying of the hair (by age 30) Waardenburg syndrome type 2 is defined as having all the features of type 1 except dystopia canthorum. 77% of individuals with type 2 have hearing loss.[verywell.com]
Signs and Symptoms Deafness (bilateral or unilateral) White patches in the skin Prematuregraying of the hair Presence of white locks of hair Heterochromia- the color of the eyes do not match Wide set eyes (hypertelorism) A prominent square jaw Eyebrows[syndromespedia.com]
Minor criteria include skin hypopigmentation (congenital leukoderma/ white skin patches), medial eyebrow flare (synophrys), broad nasal root, hypoplasia alae nasi, and prematuregraying of the hair.[panafrican-med-journal.com]

TreatmentTreatment Options: No ocular treatment is necessary. Patients may benefit from cochlear implants.[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments.[rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Waardenburg Syndrome Treatment The treatment of WS is not yet discovered. As such, the curative measures only aim to treat the symptoms of the syndrome. Again, the approach for treatment mainly involves dealing with the problems related to hearing.[hxbenefit.com]

Therefore, prevention by genetic counseling/testing is cost-effective as a preventive strategy and, therefore, highly advocated. Declaration of patient consent The authors certify that they have obtained all appropriate patient consent forms.[tjmrjournal.org]

Researchers believe that all PAX3 gene mutations have the same effect: they prevent the PAX3 protein from binding to DNA and regulating the activity of other genes.[ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
In the melanocyte lineages, Pax3 is known to be a """"""""nodal"""""""" regulator, simultaneously activating a determination program, thereby maintaining the lineage identity of the progenitor, while preventing terminal differentiation.[grantome.com]
