Imprinting defects have meanwhile been described in nearly all human imprinting disorders among them Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS). In this disorder, 11p15 epimutations and maternal Uniparental Disomy of chromosome 7 (UPD7) are detectable in approximately 50% of patients. To find out whether isolated imprinting defects on chromosome 7 play a role in the aetiology of SRS we screened a cohort of 54 SRS patients...
