resemble those of Waardenburg syndrome type 1 (WS1; see this term). Sensorineural hearing loss (77%) and heterochromia iridum (47%) are the two most important clinical features for WS. In addition, individuals with WS2 lack dystopia canthorum and are usually more frequently affected by hearing loss and heterochromia iridum. In some cases (mutation in SOX10 gene), patients may present associated signs

Waardenburg's Syndrome and Heterochromia Iridum in a Deaf School Population Waardenburg's syndrome consists of lateral displacement of the inner canthi of the eyes (dystopia canthorum), a broad nasal root and confluent eyebrows, heterochromia iridum, a white forelock and congenital deafness. The syndrome is inherited as a dominant, but affected individuals do not necessarily have all of the characteristics cited.Five hundred and fourteen pupils at a school for the deaf were screened for features of this syndrome. Three cases were discovered. Eleven other deaf children were found to have heterochromia iridum and two more had white forelocks.
