Baby with one white hair....?

a perfectly normal baby has brown hair but there is one white hair.....the irises are of the same color ( Wardenburg's syndrome in differential of course?). Does this finding mean anything or indicate any evaluation/watch?

Ask your doctor.



Don't be a hypochondriac. Stop freaking out.



One white hair doesn't mean anything. It just means there's a lack of pigmentation. As far as the eyes, the only one that's going to be able to give you a conclusive answer is your doctor. If you ask medical questions on Yahoo Answers, you're going to get responses from morons. Put your mind at ease and get it checked out if you're really worried.



These are pics of kids with it;

I'm fairly certain you'd know something was wrong by looking at your kid. I mean those kids look far from normal.



Here's the info:

For one thing it's a "Rare" Genetic Disorder. Does it run in your family?



Here are the symptoms;



Symptoms



Symptoms vary from one type of the syndrome to another and from one patient to another, but they include:



Very pale or brilliantly blue eyes, eyes of two different colors (complete heterochromia), or eyes with one iris having two different colours (sectoral heterochromia);



A forelock of white hair, or premature graying of the hair;



Wide-set eyes due to a prominent, broad nasal root (dystopia canthorum閳ユ攽articularly associated with type I);



Moderate to profound hearing impairment (higher frequency associated with type II); and



A low hairline and eyebrows that touch in the middle.



Patches of white pigmentation on the skin have been observed in some people. Sometimes, abnormalities of the arms, associated with type III, have been observed.



Waardenburg syndrome has also been associated with a variety of other congenital disorders, such as intestinal and spinal defects, elevation of the scapula, and cleft lip/palate.



Now stop being a hypochondriac.
