This website is for people who are dealing with Wagner syndrome: patients, the doctors treating them and researchers around the world. They can share information, see that patients get the best treatment, explore new treatment options. This website also offers the opportunity to get a database with lots of information. Meeting people, getting new ideas, seeing what other people experience, knowing what the smart guys are up to, is especially important as Wagner syndrome is a very rare disease: so far we counted 13 families and 250 people affected with Wagner.
