Subject: Waardenburg Syndrome

Question
I wonder if I have Waardenburg Syndrome.
I have a patch of white hair near the forehead, but I have no hearing impairment.
The patch of white hair have I since I was 35 years old. I didn't have it by my birth.
Can you tell me more about Waardenburg Syndrome.
Do you have the white hair since you are born or is it also possible that you get the white hair later on.

Answer
Hi,

I was born deaf, but I do not have white hair. My friend has Warrdenburg Syndrome because he has blue eyes, white stripe, and deaf.

You can do further research on this topic at this website I given you.
