Article Abstract
Beckwith-Wiedemann spectrum (BWSp) is a genomic imprinting disorder characterized by a wide range of clinical features. Here we report an infant with BWSp and atypical features, for whom long-read sequencing confirmed a de novo CDKN1C variant that occurred on the maternally inherited allele and excluded other genetic etiologies. These findings not only expand the BWSp concept but also highlight the potential value of allelic origin analysis in cases with atypical presentations.

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is an imprinting disorder caused by various genetic or epigenetic alterations involving growth regulatory genes located on chromosome 11p15.5 region. Conventionally, most cases of BWS are diagnosed during the neonatal period or early childhood.

Silver-Russell syndrome is an imprinting disorder characterised by pre- and post-natal growth retardation and several heterogeneous molecular defects affecting different human genomic loci. In the majority of cases, the molecular defect is the loss of methylation (LOM) of the differentially methylated region (DMR, also known as IC1) at the telomeric domain of the 11p15.5 imprinted genes cluster, which causes the altered expression of the growth controlling genes, and .

Background: Two imprinting control centres, :IG-differentialy methylated region (DMR) and :TSS-DMR, reside on chromosome 11p15.5. Paternal deletions involving the :TSS-DMR result in variable phenotypes, namely, normal phenotype, Silver-Russel syndrome (SRS) and fetal demise.
