Russell-Silver Syndrome General Information Note: If you have difficulty understanding terms in this (or any other document) please refer to the More Information- section (lower left table) for Dictionary terms. If we have missed some terms, which you would find helpful in the dictionary, please let us know and we will add a definition for them. Also, on the left side tables you will see other important articles and information relating to this issue. Feel free to look at them for more help. Thank you. In 1953 and 1954, Drs. Silver and Russell independently described groups of small-for-gestational-age [SGA] children whose pregnancies had been complicated by intrauterine growth retardation [IUGR]. Their common findings were short stature without catch-up growth, normal head size for age, a distinctive triangular face, low-set ears and incurving fifth fingers. These two groups of patients are now considered to have had variations of the same disorder that we now call Russell-Silver Syndrome [RSS] in the U.S. and Silver-Russell Syndrome [SRS] in Europe. One interesting and important aspect of the Russell-Silver syndrome is its variation in phenotype. In this context, a phenotype is all the physical characteristics and abnormalities found in an individual patient that are attributed specifically to RSS. Some individuals with RSS have many traits, thus a severe phenotype, while others have very few traits, thus a mild phenotype.

Z Russell-Silver syndrome Definition Russell-Silver syndrome is a disorder present at birth and diagnosed no later than early childhood. It is characterized by poor growth demonstrated by low birth weight and short stature (adult height usually less than 5 feet) and, frequently, asymmetry in the size of the two halves or other parts of the body. The facial features may have a characteristic appearance: triangular shape with broad forehead small pointed chin thin wide mouth Children with Russell-Silver syndrome are at risk for developmental and motor delays as well as learning disabilities.

Search Sitemap Newsletter About Us Home ... Work For Us Ask Our Experts: Silver-Russell Syndrome What is Silver-Russell Syndrome, and is it associated with poor weight-gain? Our nutrition expert, David Swain, advises. Raisingkids member's problem My son has been fed though a gastrostomy since he was 3 months old and now he won't eat. He gets 1000 ml of 'Nutrini Extrain' his feeding pump at night but he's still underweight and doesn't put on weight well. He also has Silver-Russell Syndrome and a curved spine - could this have anything to do with it? If not, have you any suggestions on how to help? He is 5 yrs-old now, and I don't get any answers from anybody. David's advice Russell-Silver syndrome (RSS) has a number of recognised characteristics. Some individuals have many of the documented traits, while others have very few. Almost every individual with the syndrome has: low birth weight (Intrauterine Growth Retardation) decreased birth length triangular shaped face (lessens with age) long narrow head at birth postnatal growth retardation poor appetite in early years Beyond this the characteristics vary very widely. However, the early years are often the most difficult and typically appetite will improve with age.

@import "../../css/layout.css"; home molecular genetics Silver-Russell Syndrome National Centre for Medical Genetics Silver-Russell Syndrome Background and Standard Service Information Silver-Russell syndrome, also known as Russell-Silver Syndrome or RSS is a malformation syndrome characterised by pre- and post-natal growth retardation. While the exact aetiology of RSS is unknown, 10% of cases are due to maternal uniparental disomy of the entire chromosome 7 [mUPD(7)]; that is, the patient has inherited both copies of chromosome 7 from the mother and none from the father. If present, mUPD(7) helps to make the diagnosis and indicates a low recurrence risk. Specific clinical features of RSS include: Pre and post natal growth retardation. Cerebral haemorrhage. Feeding difficulties (at 16 months) triangular face. Downturned mouth, micrognathia (unusually small jaw). Broad high forehead. Pointed chin. Low prominent dysplastic ears. Clinodactyly (inward bending) of little fingers and toes and mild psychomotor developmental delay. There is some evidence to suggest that mUPD(7) patients are less likely to have the triangular face, downturned mouth and micrognathia.

Associated persons: Alexander Russell Henry K. Silver Description: A syndrome of intra-uterine dwarfism with low birth weight characterized by short stature, skeletal asymmetry, relatively large skull with triangular shaped head, small incurved little fingers, characteristic facies, precocious sexual development. Renal and/or ureteral defects and mental retardation may occur in some cases. Café au lait macules are present in nearly half the cases. Nephroblastoma can be a complication. No sex preponderance. The mode of inheritance is unknown. Some authors separate the Russell and Silver syndromes as independent entities, the Russell syndrome being a similar disturbance, but not asymmetric. However, Russell's and Silver's are now considered the same entity. An affected individual is known as the Russell dwarf.

A karyotype (examination of a person's chromosomes under a microscope) is frequently ordered. About 10% of patients will have 2 copies (instead of 1) of their mother's chromosome 7 (a situation called maternal uniparenal disomy).

It was suggested that the clinical features were well-established, and the only laboratory investigation necessary was a fasting blood glucose to exclude hypoglycemia. This study is a review of the status of the genitourinary system in six patients with the Russell-Silver syndrome. Four had abnormal excretory urograms or
