Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome

Abstract: We report the association of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and a residual acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) activity of about 35% in a 23 months old Hungarian boy. Besides the classical triad of exomphalos, macroglossia and gigantism some other BWS-related features: polyhydramnios (known from the praenatal history), hemihypertrophy, craniofacial dysmorphy, a mild mental retardation, bilaterally undescended testes, cardiac anomalies and a terminally developed, fatal embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma were present in the … Show more

“…A role for genetic imprinting was initially suggested when a patient with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) presented with signs and symptoms consistent with NPD and was found to exhibit only 35% aSMase activity in isolated skin fibroblasts [34]. BWS is a genetic condition resulting from uniparental disomy in which a child receives two copies of a gene from one parent, and none from the other parent.…”

“…3 In 2000, a patient with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) was described who had ∼30% of normal ASM activity in cultured skin fibroblasts. 4 This 23-moold child had a normal karyotype, which suggested uniparental disomy of paternal chromosome 11p15. Such disomic events are responsible for ∼20% of all BWS cases.…”
