Very.: Heterochoromia in humans is likely found only in 3 genetic disorders, and most are sporadic cases. The most common is Waardenberg syndrome, which is an autosomal dominant condition, variable in expression, causing a white forelock, widely-spaced eyes, heterochromia, and deafness. Another is Horner syndrome, and lastly Piebald syndrome.
