Extractions: This is not yet fully determined. It has been suggested that while most cases are sporadic, some cases may be X-linked or autosomal dominant. However there is a congenital association between siblings which may result from placental insufficiency. Such placental problems may be hereditary. Prenatal diagnosis There is no biochemical diagnosis but serial ultrasound assessments starting from early pregnancy will confirm intra-uterine growth retardation Medical text last updated October 2001 by Dr R Stanhope, Consultant Paediatric Endocrinologist, Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, UK.

Extractions: Home Medi News Medical Tidbits Interesting Topics ... Manbir Mail Russell-Silver Syndrome Russell-Silver Syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder. Most cases of Russell-Silver Syndrome are the result of new genetic changes (mutations) that occur randomly for no apparent reason. A rare form of Russell-Silver Syndrome is thought to be inherited as an X-linked dominant genetic trait. The incidence of this disease is uncertain yet. Some say - The incidence are quite high, eg in the US alone 1:100 babies are born with it !!! Some features seen in this syndrome : - Growth delays, which starts before birth ( intrauterine growth retardation) Overgrowth of one side of the body (hemihypertrophy or asymmetry) Unusual characteristic facial features. Affected infants may be low birth weight. Growth delays and immature bone development continue after birth. Asymmetry or overgrowth of one side of the body is obvious at birth. Asymmetry may affect the head, trunk, arms, and/or legs.

Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Genetic problems are thought to cause this syndrome although the specific gene(s) remain to be discovered. The pattern of inheritance has not been determined but in most cases it seems sporadic, that is to say, there is no family history in preceding generations/siblings. Children with Russell-Silver syndrome are born small and generally achieve less than 5 feet at adult height. Side-to-side asymmetry is fairly common, for example a left body part may be larger than the right counterpart. This asymmetry may occur anywhere including the face. Other findings include excessive sweating , a small triangular face which makes the skull look large by comparison, inward curving 5th fingers, and pigmented skin lesions called cafe-au-lait spots
