Description : Waardenburg syndrome type 2 is an auditory-pigmentary syndrome characterized by pigmentary
abnormalities of the hair, skin, and eyes; congenital sensorineural hearing loss;
and the absence of 'dystopia canthorum,' the lateral displacement of the inner canthus
of each eye, which is seen in some other forms of WS (review by Read and Newton, 1997).
WS type 2D is caused by mutation in the SNAI2 gene (602150). Waardenburg syndrome
type 2 is genetically heterogeneous (see WS2A; 193510). For a description of other
clinical variants of Waardenburg syndrome, see WS1 (193500), WS3 (148820), and WS4
(277580).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
