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.

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.

Their independent and varied findings were eventually determined to be a variation of the same syndrome.

Russell-Silver Syndrome (RSS) is also known as Silver-Russell Syndrome, Silver Syndrome, and Russell Syndrome. One of the interesting and at the same time unsettling aspects of this syndrome is the very wide variation of its characteristics. Some individuals with RSS have many of the documented traits, while others have very few. Mental retardation is not characteristic of this disorder. Almost, without exception, every RSS individual has:

INTRODUCTION PDF Brochure Links Child's Site with RSS coltongeorge.com INTRODUCTION In 1953 and 1954, Drs. 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. When first described, RSS was NOT thought to be a genetic disorder because it recurred within families rarely, and when it did recur, its pattern of transmission failed to follow a consistent genetic mode of inheritance. More recent understandings of genetic mechanisms have led scientists to conclude that RSS is genetic, but its genetics are not simple. Scientists now believe that the RSS phenotype is associated with more than one genotype.

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.

A newborn girl with suspected Silver-Russell syndrome Nordmann Y, Fauchère JC, Bucher HU Clinic of Neonatology, University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland We present the case of a girl with suspected Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS). SRS is a rare, clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder involving intra-uterine and post-natal growth retardation with a wide spectrum of additional dysmorphic features. Because of the clinical heterogeneity, diagnosis can be rather subjective and is not always easy to confirm. Case presentation The girl, third child of a 30-years-old mother, was born prematurely at 31 6/7 weeks of gestation by caesarean section because of a pathologic CTG. Intrauterine growth retardation had been diagnosed at 26 6/7 weeks of gestation. At that time, amniocentesis and TORCH serologies were performed with inconspicuous results. Fig. 1. Large appearing head, high forehead, downturning corners of the mouth. Fig. 2. Asymmetry of the legs. Fig. 3. Weight and height Fig. 4.

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.
