Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is one of the most common overgrowth syndromes, with an estimated incidence of 1/14,000 births. Independently described by Beckwith in 1963 and Wiedemann in 1964, it was originally called the EMG syndrome for its three main features: exomphalos, macroglossia, and gigantism. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
