Other Problems to be Considered:

Albinism
Piebaldism
Vitiligo
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome

  • Woolf syndrome (the association of albinismus circumscriptus and deafmutism without other features of Waardenburg syndrome): This entity consists of separated genetic defects with autosomal dominant inheritance; however, the distinguishing structural ophthalmologic abnormalities of dystopia canthorum, broad nasal root, and synophrys are not found in either piebaldism or Woolf syndrome.
  • Fisch syndrome (a distinct entity with early graying of the hair and congenital deafness)
  • Rozycki syndrome (autosomal recessive deafness associated with vitiligo)
