Background
Mowat-Wilson syndrome: Hirschsprung disease-microcephaly-mental Retardation syndrome
Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS) is a rare disorder which was first described in detail by Dr DR Mowat and Dr MJ Wilson in 1998, although individuals with the characteristics of Hirschsprung’s disease, learning disability and typical facial features, had been described by a number of doctors in the preceding 20 years. The syndrome affects both males and females and over 200 patients have been described in the literature.
