Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Russell-silver syndrome; Silver-russell dwarfism; RSS;
Description : Silver-Russell syndrome is a clinically heterogeneous condition characterized by severe
intrauterine growth retardation, poor postnatal growth, craniofacial features such
as a triangular shaped face and a broad forehead, body asymmetry, and a variety of
minor malformations. The phenotypic expression changes during childhood and adolescence,
with the facial features and asymmetry usually becoming more subtle with age. Hypomethylation
at distal chromosome 11p15 represents a major cause of the disorder. Opposite epimutations,
namely hypermethylation at the same region on 11p15, are observed in about 5 to 10%
of patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS; 130650), an overgrowth syndrome
(Bartholdi et al., 2009).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant (loss of paternal allele);
Molecular basis : Caused by epigenetic changes of DNA hypomethylation at the H19/IGF2-imprinting control
region (ICR1, 616186); Contiguous gene syndrome caused by deletion of paternal allele on chromosome 7;
Neoplasia : Craniopharyngioma; Testicular seminoma; Wilms tumor; Hepatocellular carcinoma;
