Affinity for music in Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome: two case reports.
[wolf-hirschhorn syndrome]
Wolf-
Hirschhorn
syndrome
is
a
congenital
malformation
syndrome
resulting
from
deletion
of
the
short
arm
of
chromosome
4
.
Individuals
with
Wolf-
Hirschhorn
syndrome
may
have
a
"
Greek
warrior
helmet
"
appearance
,
growth
retardation
,
developmental
delay
,
muscular
hypotonia
,
epilepsy
,
and
difficulty
with
language
including
verbal
communication
.
An
affinity
for
music
has
not
previously
been
reported
in
these
patients
.
We
describe
two
patients
with
Wolf-
Hirschhorn
syndrome
who
both
have
a
strong
affinity
for
music
.
One
patient
is
a
20
-
year
-old
woman
who
likes
to
listen
to
music
all
day
and
can
hum
many
tunes
.
The
other
patient
is
a
9
-
year
-old
girl
who
is
calmed
by
music
and
received
music
therapy
,
with
subsequent
improvement
in
her
communication
skills
(
eye
contact
,
joint
attention
,
and
vocalizations
to
request
music
)
.
Individuals
with
Wolf-
Hirschhorn
syndrome
may
have
a
strong
affinity
for
music
and
may
benefit
from
music
therapy
.
Additional
studies
are
needed
to
investigate
the
interest
in
music
in
individuals
with
Wolf-
Hirschhorn
syndrome
.
