Simpson Golabi Behmel syndrome (SGBS) is a complex congenital overgrowth syndrome with features that include macroglossia, macrosomia, and renal and skeletal abnormalities as well as an increased risk of embryonal cancers. Most cases of SGBS are type 1, that appear to arise as a result of either deletions or point mutations within the glypican-3 (GPC3) gene. SGBS type 2 is a severe variant, that is associated with defects in OFD1.
