Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (/ ˈ b ɛ k ˌ w ɪ θ ˈ v iː d ə. m ə n /; abbreviated BWS) is an overgrowth disorder usually present at birth, characterized by an increased risk of childhood cancer and certain congenital features. A minority (<15%) of cases of BWS are familial, meaning that a close relative may also have BWS, and parents ...
Presence of neurological abnormality or macrocephaly can suggest macrocephaly-capillary malformation syndrome. Hemihypertrophy-multiple lipomatosis or Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome are diseases with total hypertrophy and are associated with an increased risk of Wilms' tumor. [26] [27] About 10% of DCMO cases present with total hemihypertrophy. [3]

John Bruce Beckwith (September 18, 1933 – January 21, 2025) was an American pediatric pathologist known for helping to identify Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, which is partly named after him. He is also known for his role as reference pathologist for the National Wilms Tumor Study Group , a position he held from 1969 until his retirement thirty ...
H19 is also known as BWS because aberrant H19 expression can be involved in Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome ("BWS"), as well as Silver-Russell syndrome. [8] Epigenetics deregulations at H19 imprinted gene in sperm have been observed associated with male infertility. [9]

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), an overgrowth syndrome is a well-recognized form of syndromic HI. Other syndromes that commonly feature HI include Kabuki syndrome and Turner syndrome . Most individuals with syndromic HI respond to treatment with diazoxide and HI may resolve over time.
In fact, three out of four patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome and Wilms’ tumor had UPD. [11] When KCNQ1OT1 transcript is truncated, normally repressed alleles on the paternal chromosome are instead expressed. [12] As the evidence shows, the misregulation of KCNQ1OT1 can lead to disastrous physical and genetic effects.
