Some cases may be associated with a defect in chromosome number 11. Affected children are often large at birth. Many have an abdominal wall defect, such as an umbilical hernia or omphalocele. They have a characteristic facial appearance with a gaping mouth and large tongue. Infancy can be a critical period because of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), omphalocele (when present), and an increased rate of tumor development ( Wilm's tumor and adrenal carcinoma being most common).

Extractions: ABSTRACT Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome was first described in 1963. It is a rare congenital disease associated with macrosomy, onfalocele, craniofacial dismorfism, macroglosia, visceromegaly, hemihypertrophy and Wilms tumors. Head and neck signsare of variable expression including dental and cranio-facial anomalies. Three cases are reviewed and treated with partial glossectomy. Key words: Beckwith-Wiedemann, syndrome, macroglosia.

Extractions: 24 January 2003 Some Studies See Ills for In Vitro Children By Rosie Mestel, Times Staff Writer In vitro fertilization has birthed a million babies worldwide, but now there are glimmerings of concern that the 25-year-old technology and other methods known collectively as assisted reproductive technology are causing several rare medical abnormalities. A pair of studies in the last three months have linked in vitro fertilization and a related method called intracytoplasmic sperm injection, to a fourfold to sixfold increased risk for a condition known as Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, an overgrowth disorder typified by children with enlarged tongues and other organs. Other reports within the last year have spotted a possible increase in Angelman syndrome, in which children have a spectrum of problems including speech impairment and mental retardation. In 2002, an Australian study published in the New England Journal of Medicine reported that rates of birth defects were twice as high in children conceived in vitro. And a U.S. study in the journal found that such children were more likely to have a low birth weight.

Extractions: Comments Human chromosome 11p15.5 harbors an intriguing imprinted gene cluster of 1 Mb. This imprinted domain is implicated in a wide variety of malignancies and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS). Recently, several lines of evidence have suggested that the BWS-associated imprinting cluster consists of separate chromosomal domains. Mitsuya et al. (1999, UI:99299235 ) have previously identified LIT1 ( OMIM:604115 ), a paternally expressed antisense RNA within the KvLQT1 (

Extractions: Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is a human congenital disorder characterized by a wide variety of growth abnormalities, including developmental defects and predisposition to certain tumors. Genetic evidence has suggested a role for p57 , a member of a family of cell cycle inhibitory genes, in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Two independent groups have reported the generation and characterization of mice lacking functional p57 . These mice demonstrate a number of abnormal phenotypes which overlap with, although do not completely recapitulate, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. These findings advance the molecular characterization of a human disorder, and provide insight into the interplay between regulation of cell division and development.
