Introduction Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) is an overgrowth disorder. The syndrome is usually sporadic, but may be inherited. The incidence of BWS has been reported as approximately 1:15,000 births The clinical picture of this syndrome can vary from mildly to greatly affected. The most common features are a large tongue, an abdominal wall defect and increased growth, but there are many others. These children are at risk for developing various types of tumours. BWS Support Group - UK This was started in 1990 by a group of parents with BWS children to share problems and information and to act as a self-help group. It aims to promote both public and professional awareness of BWS and to support and encourage research. The group has links with BWS groups in Holland and America.

Cancer Facts NCI Home CIS Home Dictionary Date reviewed: 8/28/2000 Questions and Answers About Living With Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome What is Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS)? Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) is a rare overgrowth syndrome that occurs in approximately 1 in every 15,000 births. A small number of infants and children with BWS develop cancer Most children have only a few of the many distinct characteristics of the syndrome. The most common characteristics, which can range from mild to severe, are: Large tongue (macroglossia) Overall large body size with large organs Abdominal wall defects Above-average birth weight Uneven growth of limbs or organs (hemihypertrophy) Ear lobe creases or pits behind the upper ear Low blood sugar ( hypoglycemia ) shortly after birth Difficulty swallowing and eating Hearing loss Speech defects Occasional behavior abnormalities About 10 percent of children with BWS develop cancer (or 10 out of 100 children with BWS). Studies suggest that the period of highest risk for developing cancer is before the age of 4 years. The most common types of cancer that occur in children with BWS are Wilms’ tumor (kidney cancer) and hepatoblastoma liver cancer ). Other types of cancer, which occur more rarely, include adrenocortical

BWS may also be characterized by low blood sugar levels within the first days of life (neonatal hypoglycemia); advanced bone age, particularly up to age four; the presence of distinctive linear grooves in the ear lobes and/or other abnormalities of the facial area; and/or an increased risk of developing certain childhood cancers.
