Defects of 11p15.5 imprinting result in two growth disorders with opposite phenotypes: Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) characterized by overgrowth and Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) associated with growth retardation. In a small group of patients with BWS and SRS, copy number variations (CNVs) involving the 11p15.5 region are observed; and their effects depend on the localization, size, and the parental mode of...
