Abstract excerpt
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is an imprinting disorder characterized by somatic overgrowth, congenital malformations, and predisposition to childhood tumors. Aberrant expression of multiple imprinted genes, including H19, IGF2, KCNQ1OT1, and CDKN1C, has been observed in BWS patients. It has been estimated that mutations in CDKN1C occur in 12-17% of BWS patients. We have screened 10 autosomal dominant...
