Description

Waardenburg syndrome type 4 (WS4), also known as Waardenburg-Shah syndrome, is an auditory-pigmentary syndrome characterized by pigmentary abnormalities of the hair, skin, and eyes, congenital sensorineural hearing loss, and Hirschsprung disease (reviews by Read and Newton, 1997 and Pingault et al., 2010). WS type 4A is caused by mutation in the EDNRB gene (OMIM ). Clinical Variability of Waardenburg Syndrome Types 1-4Waardenburg syndrome has been classified into 4 main phenotypes. Type I Waardenburg syndrome (WS1 ) is characterized by pigmentary abnormalities of the hair, including a white forelock and premature graying; pigmentary changes of the iris, such as heterochromia iridis and brilliant blue eyes; congenital sensorineural hearing loss; and 'dystopia canthorum.' WS type II (WS2) is distinguished from type I by the absence of dystopia canthorum. WS type III (WS3 ) has dystopia canthorum and is distinguished by the presence of upper limb abnormalities. WS type 4 has the additional feature of Hirschsprung disease (reviews by Read and Newton, 1997 and Pingault et al., 2010). Genetic Heterogeneity of Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4Waardenburg syndrome type 4 is genetically heterogeneous. WS4B (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the EDN3 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 20q13, and WS4C (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the SOX10 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 22q13.
