Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence shows that Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS), the major functional deficit of which is limited growth, both intrauterine and postnatal, is due to a double dose of a gene within 7p11.2-p13 that is normally expressed exclusively from the maternal copy. Of the several growth-related genes in this chromosomal region, only GRB10 has been demonstrated to be imprinted; however, imprinting was limited to...
