Abstract excerpt
Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is a phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous disorder characterised by hearing loss and pigmentary abnormalities. We clarified the clinical and genetic features in 90 Chinese WS probands. Disease-causing variants were detected in 55 probands, for a molecular diagnosis rate of 61%, including cases related to PAX3 (14.4%), MITF (24.4%), and SOX10 (22.2%). Altogether, 48 variants were...
