Etymologically, the entry records: Named after Austrian-American geneticist Joseph Warkany, who described it in 1961. Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is Warkany syndrome 1, spelled W-A-R-K-A-N-Y- -S-Y-N-D-R-O-M-E- -1, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
