Causes and Risks 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

Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Prevention Russell-Silver syndrome Alternative Names: Silver-Russell syndrome; Silver syndrome Treatment: There is no specific treatment for Russell-Silver syndrome. Symptoms are treated as necessary. Sometimes growth hormone replacement is recommended if a growth hormone deficiency is discovered. This has had varying results. Supportive treatment for discrepancy of leg length may prevent problems. Support Groups: Additional resources are available from Little People of America (888-572-2001) and MAGIC Foundation for Children's Growth (800-362-4423). Expectations (prognosis): As the child ages, many will improve in growth and appearance. There is normal intelligence. Complications: self esteem and emotional problems related to appearance chewing or speaking difficulty if jaw is very small there may be an increased risk for tumors of the liver Calling your health care provider: There may be some indications of this condition at birth. Call your health care provider if your child does not seem to be growing normally and has asymmetry of body parts or in-turned 5th fingers. Review Date: 1/30/2003 Reviewed By: Douglas R.

Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Prevention Russell-Silver syndrome Alternative Names: Silver-Russell syndrome; Silver syndrome 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) Signs and tests: A physical examination may show: delayed closure of anterior fontanel (soft spot) side to side asymmetry (especially limbs) curved-in fifth finger (clinodactyly) normal intelligence small or "pushed-back" jaw ( micrognathia or retrognathia ) small triangular face with normal head circumference Tests include: A glucose tolerance test may show episodes of low blood sugar when fasting. Skeletal X-rays may show a discrepancy (delay) between "bone age" (the age that the bones appear) and the actual age or sexual development. A karyotype (examination of a person's chromosomes under a microscope) is frequently ordered. About 10% of patients will have 2 copies (instead of 1) of their mother's chromosome 7 (a situation called maternal uniparenal disomy). Rarely, duplication of genes in a certain area of the chromosome 7 inherited from the mother is seen. Review Date: 1/30/2003 Reviewed By: Douglas R.

Sitemap Parents' news Win prizes! Home ... About Us Ask Our Experts: Silver-Russell Syndrome What is Silver-Russell Syndrome, and is it associated with poor weight-gain? Our nutrition expert, David Swain, advises. Raisingkids member's problem 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: low birth weight (Intrauterine Growth Retardation) decreased birth length triangular shaped face (lessens with age) long narrow head at birth postnatal growth retardation poor appetite in early years Beyond this the characteristics vary very widely. However, the early years are often the most difficult and typically appetite will improve with age.

Review of the reported cases of ring chromosome 15 defines a malformation syndrome with a characteristic facies related to deletion of the 15q26.2qter region. Russell-Silver and ring 15 syndromes share clinical features such as growth deficiency, triangular facies, digital anomalies, and cafe-au-lait spots.
