Apr 17, 2025
Researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) collaborated with other health systems to develop specialized growth charts for children with Beckwith–Wiedemann Spectrum (BWSp), the most common epigenetic overgrowth and cancer predisposition disorder in children. The findings illustrate how newly developed growth charts are designed to better represent how children with the condition grow, which can improve personalized treatment.
