Check with your doctor before trying anything new with your child. The WAGR Network We are the proud parents of a little boy diagnosed shortly after birth with WAGR Syndrome, resulting from a deletion of his 11th chromosome (p12p14). WAGR Syndrome is a very rare disorder. In 1996 when our son was diagnosed with this genetic disorder we were left with more question than answers. Today we are very proud of our network and the group of people with whom we are associated. WAGR is an acronym which stands for the following: ( W )ilms' Tumor, ( A )niridia, ( G )enitourinary anomalies/gonadoblastoma and Mental ( R )etardation. A combination of 2 or more of these symptoms must be present for an individual to be diagnosed with WAGR Syndrome. The only feature that has been present in all documented cases of WAGR Syndrome, with only one known exception, is aniridia. Mental retardation, Wilms' Tumor, and/or gonadoblastoma may or may not be present in affected individuals. WAGR is a rare genetic disorder that is thought to affect males more frequently than females.

Our Story - Reaching Out Network I was told that Nicholas was born with what doctors call wagr syndrome, resulting from a deletion of the 11th chromosome. http://members.aol.com/TheMooZoo
Extractions: Shortly after birth his doctors informed us that he had undescended testicles. Before leaving the hospital Nicholas was seen by a urologist. The urologist had told us undescended testicles was a common condition in boys. We were still a little scared and concerned. We had hoped his testes would eventually drop down, as they often do in many cases. We made arrangements for a follow up meeting with him 10 days later. We received a call from our pediatricians office about a week later. We were told that a blood test revealed a problem with one of Nicholas' chromosomes. The doctor did not go into much details. He did recommend that we meet with someone in genetics. We were more scared, confused and in need of some answers. It was at the follow up appointment with urology that everything became much clearer, or much more vague, depending how you look at things. I took Nicholas to the appointment alone. I was told that Nicholas was born with what doctors call WAGR Syndrome, resulting from a deletion of the 11th chromosome. I was not prepared for what I was about to hear. His doctor spoke about a kidney tumor, a visual impairment, possible retardation and so much more. Nicholas was crying and my heart was breaking inside. I barely had enough strength or composure to drive home from the doctor's office.

Extractions: *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Wagr syndrome, renal manifestation, WAGR syndrome is an acronym for a rare complex of congenital abnormalities which include Wilms tumour , aniridia, genitourinary malformation and mental retardation. It is considered a contiguous gene syndrome, because it results from a karyotypically visible interstitial deletion of a segment of chromosome 11p13. Imaging evaluation of the WAGR syndrome is in the detection of Wilms' tumour or other genitourinary malformations. Ultrasound study may be the first-line approach, but usually CT is more helpful, especially when looking for other genitourinary malformations.

The WAGR Network - Research Med Quest is a medical questionnaire created by the mother of Irma Luis,a teenager with wagr syndrome. This questionnaire was distributed http://members.aol.com/ReachingOutNet/WAGR_Research.htm
Extractions: This questionnaire was distributed to over 30 WAGR families, of which 30 agreed to participate. Ages of these WAGR children range from less then one year old to the oldest, a lady in her early 40's living in England. Each family was asked to answer questions relating to their child's medical needs from birth to the present day. Besides the normal conditions of WAGR - Wilms' Tumor which has affected half of these children, Aniridia, which all of the children have except one, Genitourinary abnormalities which range from undescended testicles for the boys to streaked ovaries for the girls and Mental Retardation which ranges in some cases from mild to severe.
