Medical Encyclopedia Go To Main Page Alternate Names : Silver Syndrome, Silver-Russell Syndrome Definition Rusell-Silver syndrome is a congenital disease (present at birth) characterized by short stature and, frequently, asymmetry in the size of the two halves or other parts of the body. 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 to occur without any family history of the condition. 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.

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.
