General Discussion
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is an extremely rare chromosomal problem caused by a partial removal (monosomy) of the brief arm (“p”) of chromosome 4. Significant signs may consist of very wide-set eyes (ocular hypertelorism) with an extensive or beaked nose, a little head (microcephaly), low-set unshaped ears, mental and development deficiency, heart (heart) flaws, and seizures. Since the quantity of genetic material removed varies, the symptoms of this disorder vary from case to instance.
