  • Title: Monozygotic twins discordant for the Russell-Silver syndrome.
    Author: Samn M, Lewis K, Blumberg B.
    Journal: Am J Med Genet; 1990 Dec; 37(4):543-5. PubMed ID: 2260605.
    Abstract:
    Russell-Silver syndrome is a disorder of unknown cause. A number of familial cases have suggested autosomal dominant inheritance. We report on monozygotic twins discordant for the Russell-Silver syndrome. Our findings suggest that the cause of Russell-Silver syndrome is not explained entirely by genetic factors. The possible role of the intrauterine environment as an etiologic component of Russell-Silver syndrome is discussed.
