Waardenburg Syndrome Type 1

Waardenburg Syndrome 1

Presentation of Case: A 7-year old Filipino girl was referred for ophthalmologic evaluation for bilateral blue eyes. She also presented with an eyebrow flare, broad nasal root, dystopia canthorum, heterochromic fundi and mild hearing loss. [sciencedomain.org]

Case presentation : We present a 9 months old male child which attended the regular clinic with features of Waardenburg syndrome type I as dystonia canthorum, heterochromiairidis and skin pigmentations anomalies. [scitechnol.com]

[…] with characteristic manifestations of WS, with an emphasis on late presentation and hence improper development of speech and language skills. [healio.com]

The boy presented with heterochromia iridis and bilateral hearing loss, but did not show dystopia canthorum. [bmjopen.bmj.com]

  • Hearing Impairment

    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 hearing impaired individuals. [wiki.ggc.edu]

    For example, a person with WS may have a white forelock, a patch of white hair near the forehead, and no hearing impairment. Others may have white patches of skin and severe hearing impairment. [healthfully.org]

    Family history revealed hearing impairment 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]

  • Premature Graying of the Hair

    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 Premature graying 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 premature graying of the hair. [panafrican-med-journal.com]

Treatment Treatment Options: No ocular treatment is necessary. Patients may benefit from cochlear implants. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Treatment Self treatment : Most simple boils can be treated at home. Ideally, the treatment should begin as soon as a boil is noticed. Early treatment may prevent later complications. [livingnaturally.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]

Genetic Counseling Waardenburg syndrome can be prevented by genetic counseling. [syndromespedia.com]

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]
