Wolfram Syndrome Global Awareness Day 2025

Wolfram Syndrome Awareness Day is held on October 1st each year. This day was chosen because it is the anniversary of the publication of a 1998 paper on the discovery of the WSf1 gene associated with the syndrome. The day is dedicated to raising awareness of this rare genetic disorder, which affects the body’s metabolism, nervous system, and senses, and to encouraging support for research and treatments.
