Article Synopsis
- Wilms' tumor, aniridia, genitourinary anomalies, and mental retardation (WAGR) syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a deletion on chromosome 11p13, leading to various developmental issues, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
- A case study of a 6-year-old boy with WAGR syndrome illustrates severe developmental delays and unique sensory processing challenges, such as hypoesthesia (reduced sensitivity) and strong sensory-seeking behavior.
- Findings from sensory evaluations and brain function tests suggest that understanding these sensory dysfunctions in WAGR syndrome can enhance rehabilitation strategies and educational support for affected children.
