Prognosis
Prognosis Early prognosis may be poor in those with severe brain anomalies, but most patients with milder CNS anomalies can reach adulthood, although most patients will never be autonomous. [orpha.net]
Diagnosis and Prognosis: The diagnosis is most likely to be made by a pediatrician but other specialists such as neurologists, neurosurgeons, ophthalmologists, and ear, nose and throat physicians are likely to be consulted. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

However, the exact etiology of BaWSremains unknown [4,5]. In our patient, BAC aCGHand G-banding chromosome analyses did not revealany abnormalities. [docslide.com.br]
Etiology BWS is a genetically heterogeneous disorder, caused by a heterozygous mutation in one of the 2 genes coding for ubiquitously expressed actins: ACTB, located to 7p22-p12 (BRWS1) and ACTG1 on 17q25.3 (BRWS2). [orpha.net]
Results We established an etiological diagnosis in 45 of 113 cases (40%). [jamanetwork.com]
