Overgrowth Syndrome
Overgrowth Syndrome is a rare genetic condition characterized by excessive growth of various body parts, including limbs and organs. This condition can result from mutations in specific genes that regulate cell growth and division. Individuals with Overgrowth Syndrome may experience a range of symptoms, including tall stature, enlarged organs, and increased risk of certain health issues.
Common types of Overgrowth Syndromes include Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome and Sotos Syndrome. Diagnosis typically involves clinical evaluation and genetic testing. Management focuses on monitoring growth patterns and addressing any associated health complications, ensuring a better quality of life for those affected.
