   Extractions: Genetics and Deafness - Waardenburg Syndrome A Dutch eye doctor, P. J. Waardenburg, was the first to notice that some people with two different colored eyes frequently had hearing problems. Dr. Waardenburg went on to study other chraacteristics of the syndrome which is now named after him. The Waardenburg syndrome (WS) gene affects the body in three primary ways: hearing , pigmentation (coloring) of the skin, hair and eyes, and facial structure. Hearing. There is a great deal of variation in the sensorineural hearing loss among people with WS. At least half of those with the gene have no hearing problems. Only about one out of five have a hearing loss severe enough to require some aid to verbal communication. Some with the gene are totally deaf, and others are deaf in one ear, yet have completely normal hearing in the other ear. Pigmentation - Facial Structure

   Extractions: Home Health Information Hearing, Ear Infections, and Deafness On this page: Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is an inherited disorder often characterized by varying degrees of hearing loss and changes in skin and hair pigmentation. The syndrome got its name from a Dutch eye doctor named Petrus Johannes Waardenburg who first noticed that people with differently colored eyes often had a hearing impairment. He went on to study over a thousand individuals in deaf families and found that some of them had certain physical characteristics in common. One commonly observed characteristic of Waardenburg syndrome is two differently colored eyes. One eye is usually brown and the other blue. Sometimes, one eye has two different colors. Other individuals with Waardenburg syndrome may have unusually brilliant blue eyes. People with WS may also have distinctive hair coloring, such as a patch of white hair or premature gray hair as early as age 12. Other possible physical features include a wide space between the inner corners of eyes called a broad nasal root. In addition persons with WS may have low frontal hairline and their eyebrows may connect. The levels of hearing loss associated with the syndrome can vary from moderate to profound. Individuals with Waardenburg syndrome may have some or all of the traits of the syndrome. 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. The severity of the hearing impairment varies among individuals with WS as do changes in the skin and hair.

A hereditary congenital defect involving pigmentation. It consists of a white forelock, vitiligo, partial or total heterochromic irides, hyperplastic broad high nasal root, lateral displacement of the medial canthi and lacrimal points, hyperplasia of the median portion of the eyebrows, congenital or partial (unilateral) deafness (15-20 % of affected persons). Although the most serious defect in this syndrome is congenital deafness, it is seldom accepted and mentioned by patients. A conspicuous feature is two different coloured eyes.

The syndrome is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait.

The main characteristics of WS include hearing impairment (see Deafness Gut Motility Disorders ) or features including upper limb abnormalities and cleft lip and/or palate . Individuals with WS have a normal lifespan. Researchers have described four main types of WS. A diagnosis of the particular type of WS depends upon detecting the fault in the causative gene. The different types of WS vary in the physical characteristics present. The most common types of WS are Type 1 and Type 2, which are distinguished on the basis of widely spaced eyes. This feature is present in Type 1 and absent in Type 2. However, hearing impairments are more common in Type 2. Type 3 (Klein-Waardenburg syndrome) is rare and is associated with upper limb abnormalities. Type 4 (Waardenburg-Hirschsprung disease), which is also uncommon, is associated with associated with colon problems originating from the time of birth. Inheritance patterns A number of genes have been associated with WS and different genes are associated with the different types of WS. In most cases, WS is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. The genetics of Waardenburg-Hirschsprung disease is slightly different as this type of WS is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.

    Extractions: Simpson et al. (1974) and Arias et al. (1975) suggested linkage to the ABO locus at 9q34. This was later excluded by Read et al. (1989) and da-Silva et al. (1990). Read et al. (1989) used polymorphic markers to study human chromosome 12, close to PEPB. PEPB is the human homolog of the mouse Pep-2 locus, mutation of which results in the 'Steel' mouse model of WS1. Read et al. (1989) excluded a large part of 12q as the site of the WS gene. Cytogenetic observations indicated which chromosomal areas to investigate.
