Williams Syndrome (WS) may not have as many harsh struggles as other disorders it does have major struggles people must deal with. Williams’s syndrome is not caused by anything the parents did or did not do during pregnancy.WS occurs at the time of conception by the spontaneous deletion of 26-28 genes on deletions of chromosome #7 (Perez-Garcia,Flores,Burn-Gasca,Perez-Jurado, 2015). Many have life-threatening cardiovascular problems, unusual facial features, failure to gain weight, and low muscle tone and stiffness in joints. Individuals with WS tend to have widely spaced teeth and a flattened nasal bridge. Most individuals with WS are very verbal and are overly sociable which makes it difficult to keep friends.
