Episode 4. Waardenburg Syndrome - Bright eyes

Genetic Drift

In this episode, by popular demand, Anthony and Juliet discuss a group of genetic disorders called Waardenburg syndrome. Here they take a deep dive into the condition and discuss how effecting different genes that regulate the same system can ultimately lead to a similar result. The complications of resolving biases around conditions that change the appearance of patients in areas with deep rooted cultural expectations are an area of particular concern to these people and ways in which this may be addressed are discussed between the cohosts.
