Russell-Silver syndrome (RSS) is characterized by slow growth both in utero and after birth, short stature, and specific facial features. Children with RSS have an increased risk for developmental delay (both motor and cognitive) and learning disabilities.
RSS can be caused by changes on either chromosome 7 or 11. It occurs in about 1 in 100,000 births.
