Waardenburg syndrome be a group of rare genetic conditions wey be characterised by at least sam degree of congenital hearing loss den pigmentation deficiencies, wich fi include bright blue eyes (anaa one blue eye den one brown eye), a white forelock anaa patches of light skin. Dese basic features constitute type 2 of de condition; insyd type 1, der sanso be a wider gap between de inner corners of de eyes dem call telecanthus, anaa dystopia canthorum.[1] Insyd type 3, wich be rare, de arms den hands sanso be malformed, plus permanent finger contractures anaa fused fingers, while insyd type 4, de person sanso get Hirschsprung's disease.[2][3] Der sanso exist at least two types (2E den PCWH) wey fi result in central nervous system (CNS) symptoms such as developmental delay den muscle tone abnormalities.[4]

De syndrome be caused by mutations insyd any of several genes wey affect de division den migration of neural crest cells during embryonic development (though sam of de genes involve sanso affect de neural tube).[5] Neural crest cells be stem cells dem lef over after de closure of de neural tube wey dey go on to form diverse non-CNS cells insyd different parts of de body, wey dey include melanocytes, various facial den inner ear bones den cartilage, den de peripheral nerves of de intestines.[6]

Type 1 be caused by a mutation insyd de PAX3 gene, while de gene wey most often dey cause type 2 wen mutated be MITF.[1][7] Type 3 be a more severe presentation of type 1 wey e be caused by a mutation insyd de same gene, while type 4 most often be caused by a mutation insyd SOX10.[2][8] Mutations insyd oda genes sanso fi cause de different types, den sam of dese be given dema own lettered subtypes. Most types be autosomal dominant.

De estimated prevalence of Waardenburg syndrome be 1 insyd 42,000.[5][8] Types 1 den 2 be de most common, wey dey comprise approximately half den a third of cases, respectively, while type 4 dey comprise a fifth den type 3 less dan 2% of cases.[8] An estimated 2–5% of congenitally deaf people get Waardenburg syndrome.[8] Descriptions of de syndrome dey date back to at least de first half of de 20th century, however e be named after Dutch ophthalmologist den geneticist Petrus Johannes Waardenburg, wey describe am insyd 1951.[9][10] Ein subtypes be progressively discovered insyd de following decades wey e get genes dem attributed to dem mostly insyd de 1990s den 2000s.
