Simpson—Golabi—Behmel syndrome: Disproportionate fetal overgrowth and elevated maternal serum alpha‐fetoprotein

View through CrossRef
AbstractSimpson—Golabi—Behmel (SGB) syndrome is an X‐linked condition with pre‐ and postnatal overgrowth, characteristic facies, and visceral and skeletal anomalies. We report an affected male who presented at 16 weeks' gestation with elevated maternal serum α‐fetoprotein (MSAFP). Fetal measurements at 20 and 31 weeks' gestation were disproportionate, with marked macrosomia but a low head to abdominal circumference ratio and normal femur length. Fetal overgrowth with elevated MSAFP may prove to be useful markers for the prenatal diagnosis of SGB syndrome.
