A Brief Overview
Under the direct supervision of the Principal Investigator and/or other study team members, this role provides support in the conduct of clinical research.
Job responsibilities may include human subject research activities including but not limited to subject enrollment, data/sample collection, data entry, and regulatory submissions support.
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is a genetic disorder commonly characterized by overgrowth. The severity of this disorder varies widely in children and is usually recognized at birth, when a child is born with several features of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. However, few children have all the associated characteristics. Some may have only a single, subtle feature, such as isolated hemihypertrophy of a limb (also known as hemihyperplasia).
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 11,000 births, with about equal incidence in boys and girls. However, because children who have milder cases of the syndrome may never receive a diagnosis of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome or 11p overgrowth spectrum, this figure may be an underestimation.
