Gene: [00.0/RSS] Russell Silver syndrome;


COM

Different research groups reported contradictory conclusions regarding the chromosome location of the Russell Silver syndrome gene.
[1] Two groups found the identical Chr 17 breakpoint (17q25) in two unrelated patients (Ramirez-Duenas-1992; Midro-1993).
[2] Kotzot-1995 found maternal disomy for Chr 7 in 4 of 35 patients with Russell Silver syndrome and predicted the presence of at least one maternally repressed gene on human Chr 7. Later, Nishita-1996 suggested that MEST, the first imprinted gene to be identified on Chr 7 (GEM:07q32/MEST), is involved in the causation of this syndrome."

PAT

The main features of the Russell Silver syndrome are lateral asymmetry and low-birth-weight dwarfism. In common it is characterized by pre- and postnatal growth retardation."
