Approach to overgrowth syndromes in the genome era
Abstract
This introduction to the special issue of AJMG Part C: Overgrowth Syndromes updates the current understanding of overgrowth syndromes. We clarify the terminology associated with overgrowth, review some common pathways to overgrowth and present a preliminary classification based on currently known genomic and epigenetic mechanisms. We introduce the articles of this issue-new research and reviews of well-established and recently described overgrowth syndromes of the brain, body or both.
Keywords: epigenetic regulation; macrocephaly; megalencephaly; overgrowth.
