摘要: Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) shares common features of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and a number dysmorphic including lateral asymmetry in about 50% subjects. Its genetic aetiology is complex most probably heterogeneous. Approximately 7% patients with SRS have been found to maternal uniparental disomy chromosome 7 (mUPD7). Genomic DNA samples from five mUPD7 analysed for regions isodisomy using 40 polymorphic markers distributed along the length 7. No were among patients. It likely that imprinted gene(s) rather than recessive mutations cause phenotype. Heterodisomy around centromere indicated underlying meiosis I non-disjunction error these
