There is an increased incidence of Wilms tumour . Ultrasound examination confirms the visceromegaly which mainly affects the kidneys and liver. The umbilical hernia is visible on plain abdominal radiographs.The associated neoplasms affect the kidneys and liver.

Link Found Between Gene and
Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome
HOUSTON(May 7, 1997)A birth-defect disorder known as Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome that predisposes children to cancer is caused by mutations in a particular gene, according to researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) in Houston and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, N.Y. As reported in the May 8 issue of Nature, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) occurs when there is a mutation in a gene called "p57KIP2". BWS affects one in 13,700 babies. The syndrome is characterized by a variety of physical abnormalities, including enlarged kidneys, liver, spleen, adrenal glands, tongue and other internal organs, gigantism resulting from extremely rapid bone growth, and an umbilical hernia, a condition in which the small intestines hang outside the navel. Babies with BWS are 1,000 times more likely to develop cancer during childhood. Currently, treatment is limited to surgery to correct the abnormalities. Dr. Stephen J. Elledge, a Baylor professor of biochemistry and an HHMI investigator, headed a research team that identified the p57KIP2 gene on chromosome 11 a few years ago. But the researchers were not able to confirm the link between the gene and BWS until they observed abnormalities in a mouse that lacked p57KIP2

Resources from HONselect Study Ties IVF To Rare Birth Defect
Leading researcher finds no cause for concern By Kathleen Doheny
HealthScoutNews Reporter FRIDAY, Nov. 22 ( HealthScoutNews) In vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures may be associated with a rare birth defect syndrome that predisposes children to certain cancers, scientists say. However, an IVF pioneer says the study is small, the association is not proven, and there is absolutely no cause for concern until much more research is done. The study authors agree that the findings need to be validated and the association needs to be confirmed by looking at larger numbers of people. The research is "not trying to raise a red flag," says Dr. Andrew Feinberg, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins and co-author of the study, published online now and in the January 2003 issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics . However, the issue, he says, "deserves study."

is a potent tight-binding inhibitor of several G cyclin/Cdk complexes, and is a negative regulator of cell proliferation . The gene encoding p57 is located at 11p15.5 (ref. 2), a region implicated in both sporadic cancers and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, a cancer-predisposing syndrome, making it a tumour-suppressor candidate. Several types of childhood tumours including Wilms' tumour, adrenocortical carcinoma and rhabdomyosarcoma exhibit a specific loss of maternal 11p15 alleles, suggesting that genomic imprinting is involved . Genetic analysis of the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome indicated maternal carriers, as well as suggesting a role of genomic imprinting . Previously, we and others demonstrated that p57 is imprinted and that only the maternal allele is expressed in both mice and humans . Here we describe p57 mutations in patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Among nine patients we examined, two were heterozygous for different mutations in this gene a missense mutation in the Cdk inhibitory domain resulting in loss of most of the protein, and a frameshift resulting in disruption of the QT domain. The missense mutation was transmitted from the patient's carrier mother, indicating that the expressed maternal allele was mutant and that the repressed paternal allele was normal. Consequently, little or no active p57
