Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a deletion of genetic material on chromosome 4. It is characterized by distinct facial features, growth delays, and intellectual disabilities. Individuals with this syndrome may also experience seizures and other health issues.
The condition is often diagnosed in early childhood, and its severity can vary widely among affected individuals. Early intervention, including therapies and educational support, can help improve quality of life. While there is no cure, ongoing research aims to better understand the genetic factors involved in Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome.
