We finally have a board for chromosomal disorders. It's about time! I'm glad to see that there are a few people on here already. I'm sure as time goes on it will fill up. Although our kid's disorders will probably vary, I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about. My son David was born in April 02. He has a maternal copy error of chromosome 11, and it's mosaicism so it's only in 5% of his cells or thereabouts. Anyway, the syndrome it causes is called Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Most children with BWS are born with enlarged tongues and crimped ears, but my son didn't have any outward physical symptoms. The only sign he had was large abdominal cysts which were found in utero by u/s. They have since disappeared on their own. David shows a bit of hemi-hypertrophy (one entire side of his body grows a little larger and faster than the other side), but it is barely noticeable too.

MRC PATH 16/1/98 assignment 5.2 David Bonthron GENETIC ABNORMALITIES IN BECKWITH-WIEDEMANN SYNDROME (BWS) BWS - a congenital overgrowth syndrome Associated features - gigantism, macroglossia, viceromegaly - Developmental abnormalities - Wilms tumour, congenital heart defects, hemihypertrophy Inheritance - may be AD but expressed only in individuals who inherit it from their mother Caused by mutation at 11p15.5. Pathogenesis of the disease - involves deregulation of imprinted genes in the region Genomic imprinting Expression of an allele depends on its parental origin Disease can occur if the normally expressed allele is absent or mutated: Deletion Uniparental disomy - (2 copies from 1 parent) Chromosome rearrangment Mutation which leads to loss of expression Mechanism appears to operate at transcriptional level and involves DNA methylation Clustering of imprinted genes suggests possible signal which can act on several genes Imprint changes as required - tissue specific differences, variation during development, when passing from parent to child. Genes involved in BWS Imprinted gene cluster at 11p15.5 contains at least 3 genes:

GENOMIC IMPRINTING IN BECKWITH-WIEDEMANN SYNDROME Genomic imprinting, the differential expression of a gene depending upon its parental origin, is a phenomenon which appears to be peculiar to mammalian genomes and may have evolved alongside placentation as a vital regulator of parental investment allocation between placenta and embryo . Disorders of imprinted genes tend to result in syndromes or symptoms in which abnormal tissue or organ growth features prominently, and it is likely that most if not all genes subject to imprinting will be found to play a role in growth regulation. Because of the profound effect of parental origin on gene expression, such disorders can arise not only from deletion or point mutation of one or the other copy, but also from uniparental disomy and from 'imprinting mutations' affecting the epigenetic modifications (primarily DNA methylation) responsible for the imprinting process. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is an overgrowth syndrome affecting 1/13 700 livebirths and whose symptoms include gigantism and macroglossia, as well as a significantly increased predisposition to various childhood tumours e.g. Wilms tumour. Most cases are sporadic, but a significant minority (15%) are familial and the BWS locus was mapped to 11p15.5 in man; the autosomal dominant, sex-dependent mode of transmission suggested that the gene responsible was subject to imprinting. The homologous region in mouse chromosome 7 was known to contain two imprinted genes: insulin-like growth factor 2 (Igf2) and H19, which therefore became the main candidates for the 'BWS gene'. The Igf2 peptide stimulates the growth of undifferentiated cells, while H19 encodes an RNA found abundantly in developing embryos.
