Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is an epigenetic overgrowth syndrome. Despite its distinctive growth pattern, the detailed growth trajectories of children with BWS remain largely unknown. We retrospectively analyzed 413 anthropometric measurements over an average of 4.4 years of follow‐up in 51 children with BWS. We constructed sex‐specific percentile curves for height, weight, and head circumference using a generalized additive model for location, scale, and shape. Males with BWS exhibited greater height at all ages evaluated, weight before the age of 10, and head circumference before the age of 9 than those of the general population. Females with BWS showed greater height before the age of 7, weight before the age of 4.5, and head circumference before the age of 7 than those of the general population. At the latest follow‐up visit at a mean 8.4 years of age, bone age was significantly higher than chronological age. Compared to paternal uniparental disomy (pUPD), males with imprinting center region 2‐loss of methylation (IC2‐LOM) had higher standard deviation score (SDS) for height and weight, while females with IC2‐LOM showed larger SDS for head circumference. These disease‐specific growth charts can serve as valuable tools for clinical monitoring of children with BWS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
