Check with your doctor before trying anything new with your child. The WAGR Network We are the proud parents of a little boy diagnosed shortly after birth with WAGR Syndrome, resulting from a deletion of his 11th chromosome (p12p14). WAGR Syndrome is a very rare disorder. In 1996 when our son was diagnosed with this genetic disorder we were left with more question than answers. Today we are very proud of our network and the group of people with whom we are associated. WAGR is an acronym which stands for the following: ( W )ilms' Tumor, ( A )niridia, ( G )enitourinary anomalies/gonadoblastoma and Mental ( R )etardation. A combination of 2 or more of these symptoms must be present for an individual to be diagnosed with WAGR Syndrome. The only feature that has been present in all documented cases of WAGR Syndrome, with only one known exception, is aniridia. Mental retardation, Wilms' Tumor, and/or gonadoblastoma may or may not be present in affected individuals. WAGR is a rare genetic disorder that is thought to affect males more frequently than females.
