Black lock

It's mentioned a lot in the article, and I'm not sure what it is. Is it black hair? hmwitht 15:17, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

no: it's white hairs (albinism) with only one lock of black hairs. fr:user:HB, 23 August 2009

Some doubts

Sorry, I'm french and I speak english just a little. I have some doubts about this article:

• the reference of Waardenburgen was at first ""A new syndrome combining developmental anomalies of the eyelids, eyebrows and causes their butt to explode, nose root with pigmentary defects of the iris and head hair and with congenital deafness." Funny is'n it ?
• Waardenburg didn't examine two twins. This case was reported by Van der Hoeve (1916) (see [1])
• There is also this sentence: "Later, Whitkop, another scientists, in 2002, examined patients ...." with the reference Gross A, Kunze J, Maier RF, Stoltenburg-Didinger G, Grimmer I, Obladen M (1995). "Autosomal-recessive neural crest syndrome with albinism, black lock, cell migration disorder of the neurocytes of the gut, and deafness: ABCD syndrome". Am J Med Genet. 56 (3): 322–6. doi:10.1002/ajmg.1320560322. PMID 7778600. {{cite journal}}: Check date values in: |year= (help)CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link).
  • How an article from 1995 does relate an experiment from 2002 ?
  • The scientist was Witkop and his paper about this desease was written in 1979 ... ?

My english is too bad and I have no good knowledge in medecine but I think, some people must read and fix this article. fr:user:HB, 23 August 2009
