Fulltext PDFWAGRO (W - Wilms' tumor; A - aniridia; G - genital abnormalities; R - mental retardation; Oobesity) it is a genetic syndrome that is related to de novo deletion of the chromosomal region 11p14-11p12 and uncommonly to the family inheritance due to translocation involving the short arm of chromosome 11. The phenotype resulting from the haplo insufficiency of some genes, located in this region, such as: Paired Box Protein 6 (PAX-6) - aniridia; Wilms Tumor 1 (WT-1) - related to Wilms' tumor; Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BNDF) - related to nerve cell survival and energy homeostasis. We report the case of female patient who was born with bilateral congenital cataract and during surgery aniridia was confirmed; mental disability, obesity, insulin resistance, single kidney and unusual association with IEM for tyrosine and metabolites. She was evaluated in the Out patients genetics unity of the University Hospital Gafrée and Guinle of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro State (UNIRIO), where the suspicion of WAGRO syndrome was raised. For this reason, karyotype was performed, to exclude complex rearrangements, with normal result. So, Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was indicated and confirmed WAGRO, whose dele
