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)

Extractions: Web: http://www.beckwith-wiedemann.org/ The Beckwith-Wiedemann Support Network provides information and peer support to people and families affected by Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome, works to increase public and professional awareness and encourages research into the cause, early (including prenatal) detection, and treatment of BWS. BWSN will assist persons who wish to start a support group in their locality and provides parent-to-parent matching by similar situations and /or geographic location. They also try to match families with older children who have BWS with new families, to provide support and encouragement. The Network publishes the Beckwith-Wiedemann Support Network newsletter three times a year, at no cost to members. Members also receive a family directory. BWSN also publishes a brochure, "What is Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome?"

The most common characteristics, which can range from mild to severe, are: 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.
