Williams-Beuren syndrome has an estimated incidence of one case in every 10,000 births. It is secondary to microdeletion of a fragment in the long arm of chromosome 7, which contains several candidate genes for the characteristic phenotype of typical facies, supravalvular aortic stenosis, and variable mental retardation with a friendly personality. This article focuses on the report of two cases, with classic but varied phenotypic findings, of this syndrome for which molecular diagnosis with fluorescent in situ hybridization was available. Additionally, we suggest a protocol for complementary studies needed to characterize each patient.

The etiology of the severe form of this syndrome ( which includes supravalvular aortic stenosis, peculiar facies, and mental retardation) is still a matter of debate. Particularly vexing is the possible relationship to vitamin D. Massive amounts (of the order of 104 units per kilogram daily) given to pregnant or young animals have led to aortic lesions,1,2 and it is postulated (that the human syndrome may represent a form of hypersensitivity to the vitamin. On the other hand, Fraser, et al.3 and Antia, et al.4 are of the opinion that the evidence See Table in PDF file does not warrant such an implication. A recent experience of ours supports the latter view.
