What is the life expectancy of someone with Wolf Hirschhorn Syndrome?
Life expectancy of people with Wolf Hirschhorn Syndrome and recent progresses and researches in Wolf Hirschhorn Syndrome
Life expectancy of people with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is difficult to predict since it varies according to the degree of disease. From the age of 0 to 2 years, when the greatest risk exists, with a 50% chance of dying, but exceeding the two-year, life expectancy is greatly improved. Some patients have reached 40 years old.

Generally research says 2-3 years. But as the syndrome is still relatively new and medical science has only been able to treat some of the more serious symptoms in the last 30 years, that is changing. Online you will see many examples of children now even in their 20’s with WHS.
