Description The phenotypic spectrum of WFS1-related Disorders; spanning from Wolfram syndrome (WFS) to WFS1-related low-frequency hearing loss, are linked to mutations in the WFS1 gene. We describe two patients with WFS1 gene mutations with an incomplete DIDMOAD tetrad and highlight a previously unreported WFS1 mutation in one proband and a misdiagnosis of normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) in the other.
