The evidence on the relationship between maternal complications such as HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) and preeclampsia and the development of BWS in offspring is scarce. A comprehensive clinical evaluation, with genetic testing focused on screening for mutations in the CDKN1C gene, which is commonly associated with BWS, was conducted in a newborn diagnosed with BWS born to a mother with a history of preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. The case study revealed typical clinical manifestations of BWS in the newborn, including hemihyperplasia, macroglossia, midfacial hypoplasia, omphalocele, and hypoglycemia. Surprisingly, the infant also exhibited fetal growth restriction, a finding less commonly observed in BWS cases. Genetic analysis, however, showed no mutations in the CDKN1C gene, which contrasts with the majority of BWS cases. This case report highlights the complex nature of BWS and its potential association with maternal complications such as preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome. The atypical presence of fetal growth restriction in the newborn and the absence of CDKN1C gene mutations have not been reported to date in BWS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms241713360","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,29]],"date-time":"2023-08-29T08:26:52Z","timestamp":1693297612000},"page":"13360","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Beckwith\u2013Wiedemann Syndrome in Newborn of Mother with HELLP Syndrome\/Preeclampsia: An Analysis of Literature and Case Report with Fetal Growth Restriction and Absence of CDKN1C Typical Pathogenic Genetic Variation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0740-7167","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jakub","family":"Staniczek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Department of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Gynecologic Oncology, Medical University of Silesia, 40-211 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maisa","family":"Manasar-Dyrbu\u015b","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Department of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Gynecologic Oncology, Medical University of Silesia, 40-211 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1249-5840","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Drosdzol-Cop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Department of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Gynecologic Oncology, Medical University of Silesia, 40-211 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5141-1016","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafa\u0142","family":"Stojko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Department of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Gynecologic Oncology, Medical University of Silesia, 40-211 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"229","DOI":"10.1038\/nrendo.2017.166","article-title":"Expert consensus document: Clinical and molecular diagnosis, screening and management of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome: An international consensus statement","volume":"14","author":"Brioude","year":"2018","journal-title":"Nat.
