Title: Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome: A Comprehensive Overview

Abstract: Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized

by a wide range of clinical features. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of
BWS, including its etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management, and long-
term outcomes. Furthermore, the paper discusses the current research and
advancements in understanding this syndrome. Understanding BWS is crucial for early
detection, appropriate management, and optimal outcomes for affected individuals.
