Abstract Silver–Russell syndrome (SRS), OMIM #180860, is characterised by prenatal and postnatal growth retardation. The syndrome was initially described in a group of children with low birth weight, atypical facies, postnatal short stature and body asymmetry independently by Silver et. al. (1953) and Russel (1954). The presentation of intrauterine growth retardation and small for gestational age (SGA) is extremely heterogeneous, however SRS can be distinguished from those with idiopathic intrauterine growth retardation or SGA and postnatal growth failure by the presence of several characteristic features. An underlying genetic cause can be identified in around 60% of patients clinically diagnosed with SRS (Netchine et al., 2007). | |||
