WAGR Syndrome
WAGR Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects several body systems. It is characterized by a combination of symptoms, including Wilms tumor, aniridia (absence of the iris in the eye), genitourinary abnormalities, and intellectual disability. The syndrome is caused by a deletion of genetic material on chromosome 11, specifically in the 11p13 region.
Individuals with WAGR Syndrome may experience varying degrees of the symptoms, and early diagnosis is important for managing health issues. Regular medical check-ups and screenings for associated conditions, such as Wilms tumor, are essential for improving outcomes and quality of life for those affected.
