Do you have updated information on this disease? Cause Cause. BWS usually results from abnormal gene regulation in a particular region of chromosome Normally, people inherit one copy of each chromosome from each parent, which also means that people normally inherit one copy of each gene on the chromosomes from each parent. Most genes on chromosome 11 have both copies activated expressed.
However, for some of these genes, only the paternal copy inherited from a person's father is expressed, or only the maternal copy is expressed. These parent-specific differences in gene expression are due to what is known as genomic imprinting.
SBW is often associated with changes in regions of DNA on chromosome 11 called imprinting centers IC1 and IC2 , which control the methylation of several genes involved in normal growth. Abnormal methylation disrupts the regulation of these genes, leading to overgrowth and the other features of BWS. Paternal UPD usually occurs early in embryonic development, affecting only some of the body's cells called mosaicism. Mosaic paternal UPD leads to an imbalance of the active genes on chromosome 11, causing the symptoms of the syndrome.
Mutations in this gene prevent the protein from restricting growth, leading to the features of BWS. Inheritance Inheritance.
However, the parents of an affected child may be at risk of having other affected children; the risk depends on the underlying genetic cause in each case.
In most of these families, the condition appears to be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. In most of these cases, the affected person inherits the genetic change from their mother.
In some cases, a person inherits the mutated gene but does not have symptoms of the disorder. Rarely, BWS results from abnormalities of the structure of chromosome Some of these chromosome abnormalities are inherited from a parent, while others occur randomly during the formation of eggs and sperm, or very early in fetal development. In order to better assess the recurrence risk for BWS in a family, the underlying cause needs to be identified. Diagnosis Diagnosis. The intended audience for the GTR is health care providers and researchers.
Patients and consumers with specific questions about a genetic test should contact a health care provider or a genetics professional. Orphanet lists international laboratories offering diagnostic testing for this condition.
Treatment Treatment. Management Guidelines Project OrphanAnesthesia is a project whose aim is to create peer-reviewed, readily accessible guidelines for patients with rare diseases and for the anesthesiologists caring for them. The project is a collaborative effort of the German Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Orphanet, the European Society of Pediatric Anesthesia, anesthetists and rare disease experts with the aim to contribute to patient safety.
