Abstract excerpt
Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is a syndrome of severe pre- and postnatal growth retardation and typical dysmorphic features. Rare chromosomal aberrations have been reported in SRS; among these are two balanced translocations involving 17q24-q25. Recently, we described a patient with a paternally inherited heterozygous deletion of the chorionic somatomammotropin hormone 1 (CSH1) gene. The CSH1 gene is member of...
