Extractions: Imperial College London, United Kingdom Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is characterised by pre- and postnatal growth restriction and additional dysmorphic features including body asymmetry and fifth finger clindactyly. The syndrome is genetically heterogeneous, with a number of chromosomes implicated. However, maternal UPD for chromosome 7 (mUPD7) has been demonstrated in up to 10 percent of cases. This observation suggests that altered imprinted gene expression is involved in the pathogenesis of the syndrome. Overexpression of a maternally transcribed, imprinted gene with growth suppressing activity, or the lack of paternally imprinted gene expression could account for the phenotype. Recent molecular mapping of SRS patients with subtle chromosome 7 disruptions has revealed two candidate gene regions, both of which harbour imprinted genes. The 7p11.2-p13 region is defined by three unrelated SRS patients with maternally inherited duplications. This region contains the solitary imprinted gene A single SRS patient with segmental mUPD 7q32-qter defines the second candidate region. Within this interval maps the

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.
