WAGR syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a deletion or mutation of certain genes on chromosome 11. It is characterized by four main features: Wilms tumor, aniridia, genitourinary abnormalities, and intellectual disability. People with WAGR syndrome can also present with cataracts, glaucoma, and nystagmus. The severity and range of symptoms can vary widely among affected individuals. Treatment usually involves a multidisciplinary approach, including surgical intervention for Wilms tumor, management of developmental and intellectual issues, and regular monitoring for potential health issues.
