Sometimes they are called a „cocktail party“ person, it is visible that they have honest, public opinion, expressive speech and musical ability. This was discovered in 1993 that the syndrome is caused by the deletion of the gene that directs the manufacture of elastin, a protein providing strength and elasticity to blood vessels, from one of the ttwo copies of chromosome 7 begin present in every body cell. Adults, children with this syndrome have special face, sometimes it seem that they a like elf, pixie, thick voice, extreme sensitive to noise, hard and vessels problems.Characteristics of William Syndrome

Abnormal sleep patterns are delayed to get normal, so of sleeping through the night may be associated with the colic. Children with Williams’s syndrome often have more sensitive hearing than other children; certain frequencies or noise levels can be painful or startling to the individual. This condition often improves with age. More than 50% of children with WS have attention deficit disorders, and about 50% have specific phobias, such as a fear of loud noises.
