Approximately 40,000 people are born with this syndrome.
Now it seems to you that you have opened a medical guide, but do not worry. Just a couple of suggestions and will go on something so interesting, after reading that you will long walk under the impression.
So, the Waardenburg syndrome is a hereditary disease, which for the first time the Dutch ophthalmologist Petrus Johannes Vaardenburg discovered in 1947. As a result of this disease, the person develops pigment changes in the eye, the nose has a wide and raised back. The patient may suffer from heterochromia of the iris (eyes of different colors). In other words, he has eyes of an alien color and at first, seeing a picture with such a sick person, it seems as though he was properly worked on in Photoshop. Moreover, people with this syndrome are pigmented not only by the eyes, but also by the skin and hair (there is a gray strand over the forehead). Hearing loss and even deafness are possible.
It is interesting that everyone who suffers from the syndrome of Waardenburg always has different symptoms. This is because changes can affect different genes.
1. And if you have discovered this genetic disease, do not be discouraged. Remember that many bloggers became popular with him. Look only at this beauty, the make-up artist Stef Sagnati. Her dazzling looks delight.
2. And this Ethiopian boy Abushe dreams of becoming a football star someday, a kind of second Beckham.
By the way, when he was born, the parents were afraid that the boy was blind. And this frightened them, first of all, because, like most Ethiopian families, the boy's parents barely make ends meet, and therefore they simply could not earn an operation. Fortunately, the baby just has the above syndrome. And his father and mother believe that in this way their child was marked by God.
True, he does not always have a sweet life. Some classmates say that Abusha has plastic, glass eyes. He is often called a monster ... But a dark-skinned miracle knows that one day he will become a football star and prove to everyone that he is not a monster, but a special person.
3. Paris Jackson and eyes of heavenly color, in which everyone drowns.
Her make-up artist has repeatedly stated that the daughter of Michael Jackson's rare genetic disease and the color of her eyes are no color lenses. Although in an interview, Paris has never agreed that this is the syndrome of Waardenburg. In fact, besides the color of the eyes, the girl no longer has any other symptoms of the disease.
4. Peace Corps Volunteers shared a touching photograph of a little girl with the syndrome of Waardenburg.
One of the volunteers on social networks uploaded a snapshot of a Senegalese baby, noting that Sura (that's the name of a dark-skinned beauty) has eyes of stunning beauty. She also has a small white speck on her right hand and, unfortunately, she is deaf ...
5. And this 11-year-old Brazilian became a star of children's fashion.
When Catlen's mother first saw her deaf child with sapphire eyes, it seemed to her that it was not her child, that he was replaced. And today in Brazil, the girl has become a young model that shows the world that beauty can destroy stereotypes and overcome all kinds of life difficulties.
