Likelyhood it's BWS

Hi my daughter has posterior helical ear pits, 100th percentile birth weight, umbilical hernia and disecti recti, a stork mark birth mark and I had polyhydramnios during pregnancy. I have an umbilical hernia, so does her sister. Her sister was 80th percentile and also had a stork mark birth mark. She does not have a large tongue. Could it just be a coincidence or does this sound like BWS? Thanks for any replies

Many thanks for your message and hope your daughter is doing well. There was a European wide Consensus meeting some five years ago which came up with a scoring system. Although the features you mention are counted as suggestive features rather than cardinal features they would score 4 meaning that a genetic test would be recommended. I must stress that we are not medical specialists, just parents like yourself. The scoring system can be found on our website at bwssupport.com/new-page-1Do get back to us if we can be of any further help. It would also be useful to know where you live.

Best wishes
