Waardenburg Syndrome (WS) is an autosomal-dominant disorder phenotypically characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and pigmentary disturbances. Presence of dystopia canthorum is indicative of WS type 1 and results from defects in the PAX3 gene, whereas normally located medial canthi is characteristic of type 2 WS (WS2) and is associated with defects in the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MIFT) gene. Here a neutral polymorphism is reported in the PAX3 gene (T315K) in a family with WS2.
瓦登伯革氏综合征(WS)是一种常染色体显性疾病,其表型特征为感音神经性听力损失和色素沉着紊乱。内眦异位的存在提示1型WS,是由PAX3基因缺陷引起的,而内眦位置正常是2型WS(WS2)的特征,与小眼相关转录因子(MIFT)基因缺陷有关。本文报道了一个患有WS2的家族中PAX3基因(T315K)的中性多态性。
