Russell Silver Syndrome (RSS) Russell Silver Syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder characterized by growthdelays before birth http://my.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/nord377.asp
Extractions: Other physical findings associated with this disorder may include permanent fixation of the fifth fingers in a bent position (clinodactyly); webbing of the second and third toes (syndactyly); underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of certain bones of the fingers (phalanges); development of smooth, coffee-colored patches on the skin (cafe-au-lait spots); and/or abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract. Most cases of Russell-Silver Syndrome are the result of new genetic changes (mutations) that occur randomly for no apparent reason (sporadic). If this mutation were to be inherited, it would do so as an autosomal dominant genetic trait. In rare cases, it is thought that the disorder may be inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait. In addition, a rare form of Russell-Silver Syndrome is thought to be inherited as an X-linked dominant genetic trait.

Facial or limb asymmetry are frequent. There are variable endocrine and sexual abnormalities, and mental retardation. Radiological manifestations are variable hand abnormalities; clinodactyly, Kirner deformity ivory epiphysis and syndactyly . There is skeletal asymmetry, retarded skeletal maturation with differential skeletal maturation on both sides. Multiple other dysmorphic features of the skeleton and the renal tract are reported.

Publications/Research If passed, SB 2395 would require CSHS to provide medical food and coverage for growth hormone treatment at no cost to individuals under age eighteen who have been diagnosed with Russell Silver Syndrome, regardless of income. While I recognize the importance of services for all children with special health care needs and their families, including children with Russell Silver Syndrome, there are also important implications that merit attention as this bill is considered. Eliminating the income eligibility requirement for treatment services through CSHS is setting a precedent that certain conditions receive prefferential treatment . Families that have children with asthma, diabetes, cerebral palsy, cleft lip and palate, hearing loss, cystic fibrosis, etc., would need to meet the eligibility criteria at 185% of the federal poverty level, while those with Russell Silver Syndrome would not. Is this fair to other families that have children with high medical expenses? The Legislature mandated the eligibility level currently used for CSHS treatment services in 2001. Use of private insurance coverage is not addressed . Although considered rare, the incidence of this syndrome is truly not known. Its unclear how many children might receive medical food and coverage for growth hormone treatment. Unless additional funding is made available, CSHS will need to redirect current resources to meet service needs of children with Russell Silver Syndrome. Although not a certainty, this could lead to elimination of other services that currently are provided.

Extractions: London W4 1P W Registered Charity No: 274325 Russell Silver Syndrome / Intrauterine Growth Retardation Russell Silver Syndrome / Intrauterine Growth Retardation The information below is summarised from the booklet "Intrauterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) including Russell Silver Syndrome - A Guide for parents and patients" available from the CGF. Russell Silver Syndrome is very rare occurring in approximately 1/75000 births. Little is known about the cause of this condition, in the majority of families only one child is affected but very occasionally families do have more than one affected child, This may suggest a genetic basis for this condition and this is the subject of much research. In some children with the milder forms of IUGR a genetic irregularity has been found. Diagnosis - Intrauterine Growth Retardation A low birth weight is defined as a baby born with a weight that is inappropriately low for the duration of the pregnancy - for a baby born at term this would be a birth weight less than 2.5kg. The inappropriately low weight indicates that the growth of the baby in the womb has been unsatisfactory and this is why is is called Intrauterine Growth Retardation.

Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with Silver-Russell syndrome is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.
