Two unrelated children with features of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome have been found to have partial duplication of chromosome 11p. A review of six other reported cases of partial duplication of 11 p revealed features of this syndrome not previously recognized. We suggest that karyotype studies with banding techniques should be done in children with features of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and developmental delay or retardation.

Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) is a rare placental pathology that sonographically mimics gestational trophoblastic diseases. However, mesenchymal dysplasia can be distinguished from other conditions by the presence of villous edema and the absence of trophoblastic proliferation in the placental tissue. This pathology has been demonstrated to be associated with fetal growth restriction, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, some chromosomal abnormalities and intrauterine fetal demise.

Introduction: Macroglossia is a frequent clinical feature of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), a congenital overgrowth disorder. Macroglossia can lead to abnormal breathing, feeding, speech, and dentoskeletal development. Partial glossectomy is a common intervention aimed at reducing these abnormalities.

To assess the suitability of genome sequencing (GS) as the second step in the diagnostics of patients with the features of 11p15.5-associated imprinting disorders (ImpDis: Silver-Russell syndrome [SRS], Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome [BWS]), we performed short-read GS in patients negatively tested for imprinting disturbances. Obtaining a genetic diagnosis for patients with the features of these syndromes is challenging due to the clinical and molecular heterogeneity and overlap, and many patients remain undiagnosed after the currently suggested stepwise diagnostic workup.
