Abstract excerpt
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a rare overgrowth disorder caused by epigenetic alterations on Chromosome 11p15.5. Most molecular changes are sporadic and are thought to occur in a mosaic pattern. Thereby, the distribution of affected cells differs between tissues for each individual, which can complicate genotype-phenotype correlations. In two of the BWS molecular subtypes, tissue mosaicism has been...
