Arterial hypertension in children with Williams-Beuren syndrome

Novo Marta, Loureiro Marília* and Rocha Liliana

Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS) is a multisystemic disorder with prevalence of 1/7500 [1], affects both genders equally and it is caused by a microdeletion of 26-28 genes, including elastin and NCF1 genes, of the chromosome region 7q11.23 [1,2]. The disease is transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion, but almost all cases are the result of de novo mutations [1].
