RESUMEN
Abstract Objective: To develop growth charts for weight-for-age, height-for-age, and body mass index (BMI)-for-age for both genders aged 2 to 18 years for Brazilian patients with Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS). Methods: This is a multicenter, retrospective, and longitudinal study, data were collected from the medical records of boys and girls with a confirmed diagnosis of WBS in three large university centers in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Growth charts stratified by gender and age in years were developed using LMSchartmaker Pro software. The LMS (Lambda Mu Sigma) method was used to model the charts. The quality of the settings was checked by worm plots. Results: The first Brazilian growth charts for weight-for-age, height-for-age, and BMI-for-age stratified by gender were constructed for WBS patients aged 2 to 18 years. Conclusion: The growth charts developed in this study can help to guide family members and to improve the health care offered by health professionals.

Crianças com síndrome de Sotos apresentam aceleraçäo do crescimento, macrocrania, padröes acromegalóides e dificuldades iniciais no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor. A delineaçäo da síndrome e o diagnóstico diferencial estäo baseados na avaliaçäo das características clínicas e no histórico evolutivo desses pacientes. Sete pacientes com síndrome de Sotos säo descritos, bem como revistas as características clínicas presentes em 198 pacientes da literatura. As dificuldades motoras presentes durante a primeira infância nos pacientes com síndrome de Sotos säo responsáveis pelo mau desempenho destas crianças nos testes de QI. A estimulaçäo especializada deve ser encorajada para ajustar os afetados a superarem suas dificuldades iniciais
