What Is The Maximum Age Of A Person With Wolfram Syndrome?

I have a nephew that just passed away from Wolfram syndrome. he has a sister that is 15 months younger than he was. They were both diagnosed with diabetes at a early age. MY nephew was just about blind and my niece is to. she has not been tested for this but has a lot of the symptoms. how old is the oldest living person with this that you know of.
