Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS) is a rare autosomal dominant condition caused by a heterozygous mutation or deletion of the ZEB2 gene. The syndrome occurs in both sexes but is potentially more frequently diagnosed in males. The number of new cases is estimated to be 1 in 50,000-70,000 born children. MWS is characterised by a distinctive facial appearance in association with intellectual disability (ID) and a range of other features including epilepsy, and Hirschsprung disease, microcephaly, agenesis of the corpus callosum and congenital heart defects.
