Abstract excerpt
Background Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is an imprinting disorder caused by (epi)genetic alterations at 11p15. Because approximately 20% of patients test negative via molecular testing of peripheral blood leukocytes, the concept of Beckwith-Wiedemann spectrum (BWSp) was established to encompass a broader cohort with diverse and overlapping phenotypes. The prevalence of other overgrowth syndromes concealed...
