Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the connections between Beckwith–Wiedemann Spectrum (BWSp) and cancer. Topics included will range from elements of clinical practice to human biology. Suggested topics include: the epidemiology of tumors and oncological screening in BWSp, the role of the different molecular subtypes of BWSp, the molecular alterations typical of BWSp in pathology, the variegated and diversified phenotypic spectrum of overgrowth and neoplasms, and the epigenetic basis of cancer.
