Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is an inherited disorder affecting 1 in 10,500 to 13,700 newborns worldwide. The disease is caused in a vast majority of patients by a molecular defect in the imprinted chromosome 11p15.5. Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a form of hemolytic anemia associated with a variety of mutations leading to congenital red blood cell (RBC) membrane defects. The prevalence of HS varies by geographic regions around the world, ranging from 1.2 in 100,000 in Asia to 1 in 2000 in Northern Europe.
