 | | Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome is similar to BWS because of its prenatal and postnatal overgrowth, neonatal hypoglycemia, risk of embryonal tumors, and splenomegaly. |
 | | Sotos syndrome (cerebral gigantism) is similar to BWS because of its autosomal dominance and macrocephaly but is differentiated by advanced bone age, neonatal hypotonia, normal growth hormone production, rapid early growth, hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, arm span greater than height, dolichocephaly, alveolar ridge exostoses, and generalized neonatal edema. |
 | | Weaver syndrome is similar to BWS because of its features of accelerated growth, advanced bone age, and macrocephaly but is differentiated by camptodactyly, serrated gums, clinodactyly of fifth digit, and cryptorchidism. |
