Most cases of Russell-Silver Syndrome are the result of new genetic changes (mutations) that occur randomly for no apparent reason. A rare form of Russell-Silver Syndrome is thought to be inherited as an X-linked dominant genetic trait. The incidence of this disease is uncertain yet. Some say - The incidence are quite high, eg in the US alone 1:100 babies are born with it !!! Some features seen in this syndrome : - Growth delays, which starts before birth ( intrauterine growth retardation) Overgrowth of one side of the body (hemihypertrophy or asymmetry) Unusual characteristic facial features. Affected infants may be low birth weight. Growth delays and immature bone development continue after birth. Asymmetry or overgrowth of one side of the body is obvious at birth. Asymmetry may affect the head, trunk, arms, and/or legs.

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 excessive sweating , a small triangular face which makes the skull look large by comparison, inward curving 5th fingers, and pigmented skin lesions called cafe-au-lait spots

    Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: SRS, Russell-Silver syndrome, Silver-Russell dwarfism, Silver syndrome Background: Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) originally was described by Silver and colleagues in 1953 and, soon afterwards, by Russell in 1954. The first reports were of 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.

Facial or limb asymmetry are frequent. There are variable endocrine and sexual abnormalities, and mental retardation. Radiological manifestations are variable hand abnormalities; clinodactyly, Kirner deformity ivory epiphysis and syndactyly . There is skeletal asymmetry, retarded skeletal maturation with differential skeletal maturation on both sides. Multiple other dysmorphic features of the skeleton and the renal tract are reported.
