✦ Synopsis
We have carried out a follow-up study of 13 children with Wiedemann-Beckwith syndrome (WBS) using a standard protocol which included facial anthropometric measurements. W e confirm that most patients with WBS do well and that their clinical abnormalities become less apparent with age. W e suggest that there is a characteristic neonatal appearance in WBS and that the expected pattern of facial growth generally results in a normal appearance by mid-to late childhood. W e tentatively propose that there is a distinct facial anthropometric pattern profile in WBS.
