Overview of Waardenburg Syndrome

Most recent studies have shown that Waardenburg Syndrome shares some biological mechanisms with albinism, catatrichy, complete-hearing-loss, congenital-abnormality, crest-syndrome, deafness-congenital, eye-abnormalities, hearing-problem, hirschsprung-disease, hypopigmentation-disorder, megacolon, microphthalmos, nervousness, piebaldism, pigmentation-disorders, sensorineural-hearing-loss-(disorder), waardenburg-syndrome-type-2, waardenburg-syndrome-type-4a, waardenburg-syndrome-type-i-(disorder), white-forelock.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Waardenburg Syndrome, and have been seen in publications frequently: Cell Adhesion, Cell Development, Cell Migration, Cell Proliferation, Innervation, Localization, Melanocyte Differentiation, Melanocyte Migration, Metaphase, Myelination, Neural Crest Cell Development, Neural Crest Cell Migration, Neural Tube Closure, Neuron Development, Pathogenesis, Pigment Cell Development, Pigmentation, Translation, Transport, Tube Closure

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Waardenburg Syndrome, such as DCTN6, EDN3, EDNRB, ELN, GJB2, KIT, MITF, PAX3, POMC, RET, SNAI2, SOX10, SS18L1, TFF2, TYR, TYRP1.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
