Waardenburg syndrome (WS) type 1 occurs due to a mutation in the PAX3-gene on the long arm of chromosome 2. It is an autosomal dominant mutation with highly variable expression and high penetrance. Symptoms include the absence of melanocytes in the skin, hair, eyes and cochlea due to an early developmental disturbance in melancoytes from the neural crest. An inner ear disturbance is characteristic. Here we present a 4 year old girl with unilateral hearing loss, dystopia canthorum and partial albinism. Screening the entire PAX 3 gene revealed C64A und T164A mutations in exon I und II, both being missense mutations. Neither mutation has not been reported previously.
1型瓦登伯革氏综合征(WS)是由2号染色体长臂上的PAX3基因突变引起的。它是一种常染色体显性突变,具有高度可变的表达和高外显率。症状包括由于神经嵴黑素细胞早期发育障碍,导致皮肤、毛发、眼睛和耳蜗中缺乏黑素细胞。内耳紊乱是其特征。我们在此报告一名4岁女孩,患有单侧听力丧失、内眦异位和部分白化病。对整个PAX 3基因进行筛查,发现外显子I和II中有C64A和T164A突变,两者均为错义突变。此前尚未报道过这两种突变。
