About Williams syndrome:
Williams syndrome is a rare genetic disorder. Individuals with Williams syndrome are missing 20 genes on one copy of chromosome #7. As a result of this deletion, individuals may experience mild to severe cardiac and/or kidney problems, developmental delays and unique learning disabilities - verbal skills often far exceed performance, and visual-spatial deficits can be severe. People with WS almost always have an excellent social demeanor and overly friendly personality. They also often have a passion for, or proficiency in music that is far stronger than would be expected based on their cognitive profile. In fact their unique musicality has sparked a new interest among researchers and the media. Segments on 60 Minutes, Nightline, First Edition and Public Television have highlighted these very special people in recent years.
