To report a case of Wolfram syndrome characterized by early onset diabetes mellitus and progressive optic atrophy
Purpose
![Page 3: A Case Of Wolfram Syndrome](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021423/58a3a8d91a28ab9e6a8b5621/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Wolfram syndrome (WS) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early onset diabetes mellitus and progressive optic atrophy in the first decade of life
Also known as DIDMOAD syndrome, an acronym composed of diabetes insipidus (DI), diabetes mellitus (DM), optic atrophy (OA) and deafness (D)
This syndrome should be considered in young diabetic patients with unexplained visual loss or polyuria and polydipsia in the presence of high blood sugar
The sequence of the Wolfram syndrome gene (WFS1) was described in 1998 and mutations in this gene have been reported in many populations

Wolfram syndrome is a progressive autosomal recesive neurodegenerative disorder
Optic atrophy in a diabetic patient necessitate audiometry and intravenous pyelography
In our patient majority of the symtoms were evident in the second decade of life
Differential diagnoses include congenital rubella syndrome, Leber’s hereditary optic atrophy, and thiamine responsive anemia with diabetes mellitus and deafness
The pathogenesis of the disease remains unknown
