Abstract
Wolfram, or DIDMOAD, syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy and deafness. We studied a family in which only diabetes mellitus and primary optic atrophy were present in three female siblings. Two of these patients, fraternal twins, were subjected to a complete electrophysiologic examination. The possibility of an incomplete clinical expression of Wolfram syndrome, hypotheses of its genetic transmission, and diagnostic problems are discussed.Entities:
