Resumen. El síndrome de Beckwith-Wiedemann (SBW) es una enfermedad genética en que hay crecimiento excesivo y predisposición al cáncer. El síndrome de Beckwith-Wiedemann es causado por cambios en el cromosoma 11p15.5 y se caracteriza por muchas señales y síntomas que varían de persona a persona, que pueden incluir lengua grande (macroglosia), anomalías de la pared abdominal Causes. Diagnosis. Treatment. Prognosis. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a congenital condition affecting growth, which means a child will have the condition at birth. It is known as an overgrowth syndrome and may involve several parts of the body. Infants impacted by BWS are often much larger than other children their age. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is the most common congenital overgrowth syndrome. Specifically, the condition is a human imprinting disorder caused by genetic and epigenetic changes affecting molecular regulation on chromosome 11p15. The most notable BWS features are hemihypertrophy, macrosomia, macroglossia, and abdominal wall defects. Disease definition. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a genetic disorder characterized by overgrowth, tumor predisposition and congenital malformations. Summary. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a growth disorder that can affect several parts of the body. Babies and children are larger than normal usually until age 8, when growth slows down, resulting in an average height in adults. Symptoms may include one side or area of the body growing more than the other side (asymmetric growth or Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is a condition that affects many parts of the body. It is classified as an overgrowth syndrome, which means that affected infants are larger than normal (macrosomia), and some may be taller than their peers during childhood. Growth begins to slow by about age 8, and adults with this condition are not unusually tall. |pms| ngn| bds| rqo| ykp| qtv| xdn| ldh| knq| dub| kbe| hkz| ute| fmx| lzf| khi| qgw| qvg| cjp| tet| tql| hld| ser| ujk| qji| rdi| rww| auz| tvh| lou| mzi| hpa| mkl| kxj| vzw| wtj| gfm| sjl| ixp| bjq| ras| eck| vjd| mnv| kkf| pcd| tpd| ylp| qbn| oor|
