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.

Donate by Mail Information on Hearing Loss - 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 One of the noticeable effects is two different colored eyes (heterochromia irides). Usually, one eye is brown and the other is blue. occassionally, patches of brown and blue are mixed in the same eye. The blue eye color is often described as a "bright" blue. As with hearing loss, not everyone who carries the gene has two different colored eyes. in fact, in some large families with WS there may be only one or two such individuals. However, a person having two different colored eyes is so noteworthy that it almost always automatically raises the question of WS in that family.
