Esophageal atresia and Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome in one of the naturally conceived discordant newborn twins: first report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent studies report a high incidence of monozygotic twinning in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. A phenotypical discordance in monozygotic twins is rare. Twinning and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome show higher incidence in children born after assisted reproductive techniques. We report on the first observation of esophageal atresia and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome in one of the naturally conceived discordant monozygotic twins.

متن کاملWiedemann-Beckwith syndrome in one of monozygotic twins.
A pair of monozygotic twins discordant for Wiedemann-Beckwith syndrome is described. The probability of monozygosity is 0.995. This observation suggests that the syndrome is unlikely to be under single gene control and genetic counselling should be based on multifactorial inheritance.
متن کاملMonozygotic twins discordant for Wiedemann-Beckwith syndrome and the implications for genetic counselling.
A pair of monozygous twins discordant for Wiedemann-Beckwith syndrome is described and published reports reviewed to establish the mode of inheritance. Single gene control seems unlikely and it is proposed that the condition arises from the interaction of "at risk" genes in the fetus and metabolic factors in the mother, which suggests multifactorial control.

Combination of congenital esophageal atresia and subsequent hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is a rare condition which occurs in early infancy. The underlying etiology and pathophysiology of this association still remains unclear. In this paper we report a unique case of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, for the first time, which occurred in an infant who underwent surgery for type I esophag...
