Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome (WSS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that encompasses alopecia, hypogonadism, diabetes mellitus, mental retardation, and extrapyramidal signs. Additional manifestations include sensorineural hearing loss, seizures, T-wave abnormalities on ECG, and polyneuropathy. The syndrome is caused by mutation of the C2orf37 gene encoding a nucleolar protein.
