abstract：:The Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is characterised by multiple congenital abnormalities, including exomphalos, macroglossia, and gigantism. It is also associated with an elevated risk of embryonal neoplasia and occasionally with constitutional anomalies of chromosome band 11p15. A common pathogenetic mechanism for...
