My child was born with Waardenburg syndrome. I don't have it. I want to know how did she get it?
The disorder is autosomal dominant, so she would have gotten the gene from either one of her parents. Since not every person has the same symptoms, and symptoms can be very subtle, it's possible for one of her parents to carry the gene without knowing it. Some people with the syndrome have only minor signs, like a patch of white hair, without any difficulties related to hearing or the muscular system. Consulting with a genetic counselor may be helpful for your family as you sort out this question. Best wishes! Waardenburg syndrome can skip a generation or as above the signs can so subtle as to be unrecognizable.
