Williams Syndrome
Williams Syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the deletion of a small piece of chromosome 7. This syndrome affects approximately 1 in 7,500 births and is characterized by a unique combination of physical and cognitive features. Individuals with Williams Syndrome often have distinct facial features, such as a broad forehead and full cheeks, and may experience cardiovascular issues.
People with Williams Syndrome typically exhibit strong verbal skills and a friendly, outgoing personality. They may also have developmental delays and learning challenges, particularly in areas like mathematics. Early intervention and support can help improve their quality of life and social skills.
