Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is a group of genetic conditions characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and pigmentary abnormalities of the iris, hair, and skin, along with dystopia canthorum. Hearing loss is congenital, typically non-progressive, either unilateral or bilateral, and sensorineural.

The classic sign of hair pigmentation anomaly with WS is white forelock appearing typically in the teen years. Ocular pigmentary manifestations may include complete or segmental heterochromia or hypoplastic or brilliant blue irides.

Waardenburg syndrome affects an estimated 1 in 20,000-40,000 people.

Four types of WS can be distinguished by physical characteristics and genetic cause. Types I and III are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, types II and IV are autosomal recessive.

Familial lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency is characterized by very severe hypertriglyceridemia with episodes of abdominal pain, recurrent acute pancreatitis, eruptive cutaneous xanthomata, and hepatosplenomegaly. Symptoms of the disease typically develop in childhood.

Familial LPL deficiency is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Mutations in the LPL gene cause the disease.

The prevalence of familial LPL deficiency is approximately one in 1,000,000 worldwide.

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a progressive disease of heart muscle that is characterized by left ventricular enlargement and systolic dysfunction. Persons with DCM may be asymptomatic for a number of years. Complications usually occur later in the disease course and may include heart failure, arrhythmias, thromboembolic disease.

The disease initially manifests in adults in the fourth to sixth decade, it may also present at any age.

DCM can be categorized as acquired, syndromic, or nonsyndromic. DCM can be inherited in an autosomal dominant or X-linked manner. Most cases are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is characterized by progressive fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium that predisposes to ventricular tachycardia and sudden death in young individuals and athletes. ARVC affects the right ventricle and in some cases also the left ventricle. The most common presenting symptoms are heart palpitations, syncope, and sudden death.

The presentation of disease is highly variable, and some affected individuals may not meet established clinical criteria. The mean age at diagnosis is 31 years.

ARVC is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.

Lab method: MLPA
TAT: 4-6 weeks
Specimen requirements: 2-4 ml of blood with anticoagulant EDTA

2,5 µg DNA in TE, AE or pure sterile water at 100-250 ng/µl
The A260/A280 ratio should be 1.8-2.0. DNA sample should be run on an agarose gel as a single band, showing no degradation, alongside with a quantitative DNA marker.
