| Abstract |    :  
                  Macroglossia, a cardinal feature of the (epi)genetic disorder Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, is associated with obstructive sleep apnea, speech and/or feeding difficulties, and dental or jaw malalignment. These sequelae may be treated and/or prevented with tongue reduction surgery; the authors sought to determine whether certain Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome patients may benefit from early surgical intervention before age 12 months.  |
