Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS), which occurs secondary to an imprinting disorder due to the anomalous methylation of chromosome 11 or due to a uniparental disomy of chromosome 7, is a rare syndrome (ORPHA813, OMIM 180860) characterized by growth retardation with an intrauterine onset, a normal head circumference, small postnatal size and major feeding difficulties. Starting at a very young age, the rapid aging of bone can occur even in the absence of central puberty, in association with the production of androgens by the adrenal glands (adrenarche). This advanced bone maturation can compromise final size, even when the child receives growth hormone (GH) treatment for several years.
