The first reports were in children with characteristic facies, low birthweight, asymmetry, and growth retardation. Over the past several years, more than 400 patients have been described, with phenotypes ranging from mild to classic. Some patients have maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 7, with the possibility of imprinting (eg, inheriting 2 copies of maternal chromosome 7, with no paternal contribution). Pathophysiology: Growth failure is the primary abnormality. Patients present with intrauterine growth retardation, difficulty feeding, failure to thrive, or postnatal growth retardation that may be caused by immature osseous development through early childhood. Although catch-up growth often occurs during adolescence, the final height still is less than normal ( -3.6 SD). Older children and adults do not manifest clinical features as clearly as infants or young children.

Silver-Russell syndrome (Alexander Russell) Also known as: Russell dwarf Russell nanism Russell syndrome Russell-Silver syndrome Silver's syndrome Synonyms: Asymmetry-dwarfism syndrome. Associated persons: Alexander Russell Henry K. Silver Description: A syndrome of intra-uterine dwarfism with low birth weight characterized by short stature, skeletal asymmetry, relatively large skull with triangular shaped head, small incurved little fingers, characteristic facies, precocious sexual development. Renal and/or ureteral defects and mental retardation may occur in some cases. Café au lait macules are present in nearly half the cases. Nephroblastoma can be a complication. No sex preponderance. The mode of inheritance is unknown. Some authors separate the Russell and Silver syndromes as independent entities, the Russell syndrome being a similar disturbance, but not asymmetric. However, Russell's and Silver's are now considered the same entity. An affected individual is known as the Russell dwarf.

Back Main index Medical a-z About us Russell-Silver syndrome Russell-Silver syndrome is a rare disorder in which growth is delayed before birth. Children usually develop differently on each side of the body, especially different leg lengths. They may have unusual facial features including a small face with a relatively large head. Affected children may have short stature and be quite small and thin for their age. Parts of their body may grow at different rates, especially the head, trunk, arms, and legs. Range and severity varies. There is no specific treatment for Russell-Silver syndrome although growth hormone replacement is sometimes used. Your GP or specialist may be able to explain your condition further. Growth disorders index

Program Nr: 1653 Russell-Silver syndrome: Identification of a candidate region on the short arm of chromosome 7. B.A. Fernandez , I. Teshima , K. Nakabayashi , V. Proud , R. Weksberg , S.W. Scherer 1) Dept. of Genetics, Hosp Sick Children, Univ Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada; 2) Valley Children's Hosp, Madera, CA. Russell-Silver syndrome (RSS) is a form of dwarfism characterized by IUGR, triangular facies and 5th finger clinodactyly. Ten percent of sporadic cases are associated with maternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 7 (matUPD7), suggesting that the etiology in some patients is an alteration in one or more imprinted genes on chromosome 7. Two RSS patients were identified, each with a cytogenetic rearrangement of 7p. Patient 1 had a partial duplication of 7p [46,XX,dup(7)(p12p14)]. Patient 2 had a paracentric inversion, with the proximal inversion breakpoint at 7p14 [46,XY,inv(7)(p14p21)]. We hypothesized that the RSS phenotype in both patients might be due to alteration in an imprinted gene or region on 7p. Also, given the previous matUPD7 data, we hypothesized that patient 1's duplication was carried on her maternal chromosome 7. The first hypothesis was tested by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping. Metaphase FISH experiments using YACs and PACs for the 7p region were performed. Results indicate that patient 1's duplication extends from 7p12 into 7p14. In patient 2, a YAC that spans the proximal (7p14) inversion breakpoint, is also duplicated in patient 1. Thus, a common region of involvement (1 Mb in size) on 7p14 has been identified, and we propose this as a possible RSS candidate region.

Disease Management Disease - Russell-Silver 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. Alternative Names: Silver-Russell syndrome; Silver syndrome Causes And Risk: 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. Other characteristics include excessive sweating , a small triangular face that makes the skull look large by comparison, inward curving 5th fingers, and colored spots on the skin called cafe-au-lait spots Symptoms: slow growth before birth short stature throughout childhood and at final height cafe-au-lait (coffee with milk) colored spots severe feeding problems in childhood (reflux disease, food aversion, failure to thrive)
