High impact information on WWS

Localization of the gene for Wieacker-Wolff syndrome in the pericentromeric region of the X chromosome [1].
The most common diagnoses in order of decreasing frequency will probably prove to be WWS, MDS, and ILS [2].
The association of MMS and protein C deficiency was first reported in this cohort of patients, whereas the association of the syndrome with WWS and AOS has not, hitherto, been described [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of WWS

3. Prenatal diagnosis should prove to be reliable in both WWS and MDS [2].
