Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) is a genetic condition characterized
by low IQ, cardiovascular malformations, dysmorphic facial
features, and a striking pattern of behaviors, weaknesses, and
strengths, such as musical and verbal abilities, extraordinary
friendliness, empathy, and social grace. Because the typical
psychological and cognitive profile is unique, examination of this
syndrome sheds light on how the human brain is organized and how
different aspects of cognition and behavior arise. Williams-Beuren
Syndrome offers concise, comprehensive coverage of WBS research and
its clinical implications, including its genetics and molecular
biology, neurobiological and behavioral traits, and medical
problems and their management. Each chapter emphasizes how research
can be applied to clinical practice. The expertise of the volume
editors ranges from pioneering research to personal experience:
Colleen Morris played a key role in the breakthrough discovery of
the missing elastin gene in patients with WBS; Howard Lenhoff is a
biologist, an expert on WBS and musical pitch, and the parent of a
WBS musical savant; Paul Wang is a pediatrician and cognitive
researcher who works in the WBS community. Researchers and
clinicians in genetics, pediatrics, and psychiatry/psychology will
find in this volume a wealth of current information on WBS, as well
as valuable insights into future research possibilities.
