We finally have a board for chromosomal disorders. It's about time! 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.

Extractions: 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.
