Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (/ ˈ b ɛ k ˌ w ɪ θ ˈ v iː d ə. m ə n /; abbreviated BWS) is an overgrowth disorder usually present at birth, characterized by an increased risk of childhood cancer and certain congenital features. A minority (<15%) of cases of BWS are familial, meaning that a close relative may also have BWS, and parents ...
