Abstract excerpt
Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous congenital disorder characterized by severe growth retardation. Hypomethylation of the differentially methylated region (DMR) of the H19 gene and uniparental disomy of maternal chromosome 7 is present in ∼45% of the patients with SRS so more than half of these patients have no known genetic etiology. We combined several molecular...
