Silver-Russell Syndrome
Silver-Russell Syndrome (SRS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by growth restriction and distinctive physical features. Individuals with SRS often have a low birth weight, short stature, and a triangular face. Other common traits include asymmetry in body parts and feeding difficulties during infancy.
The condition is linked to genetic changes, often involving the imprinting of genes on chromosome 11. Diagnosis typically involves clinical evaluation and genetic testing. While there is no cure for SRS, early intervention and supportive therapies can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected.
