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 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: Children with Russell-Silver syndrome are at risk for developmental and motor delays as well as learning disabilities.

Extractions: 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: Beyond this the characteristics vary very widely. However, the early years are often the most difficult and typically appetite will improve with age.

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: There is some evidence to suggest that mUPD(7) patients are less likely to have the triangular face, downturned mouth and micrognathia.

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
