From the WNYC site:

Williams Syndrome is a neurological disorder that affects about 1 in 7,500 people. People with Williams have what's called "Williams Personality" - a love of conversation and companionship, along with no social inhibitions. Now researchers are turning to Williams to learn more about how the human brain is wired for sociability. Dr. Barbara Pober is a genetics counselor at Children's Hospital Boston, and Richie Rosen and Kelley Martin have Williams Syndrome.


The New York Times magazine recently published an article about Williams Syndrome - you can read it
