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

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Waardenburg syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait; only one parent has to pass on the gene for a child to be affected. There are four types of this syndrome. (Type 3 is known as Klein-Waardenburg syndrome; Type 4 is Waardenburg-Shah syndrome.) The multiple types of this syndrome result from mutations occurring in different genes. All types share two dominant features: hearing loss and partial albinism. The albinism is incomplete and may appear as a white forelock in an otherwise dark head of hair, very pale light-blue eyes, or two different colored eyes . Affected individuals may also have wide separation of the inner corners of the eyes, a broad nasal bridge, and other color changes of the skin.

Additional resources Description 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.

Much if not most of the time this is a result of a slow degenerative process due to the lack of adequate bodily supplies of the elements necessary for normal function and rejuvenation of affected organs. Commercial Farming and natural erosion has depleted global farmlands of most essential elements therefore it is not wise to assume that your diet contains enough of these elements for normal body function and maintenance. See Senate Document 264. It is also unwise to suspect that intervention therapies will be successful without adequate dietary levels of these elements in useable forms.
