Abstract
We describe a 7-month-old male child with Silver–Russel syndrome (SRS) phenotype, presented with two major clinical features: low birth weight, short stature, and minor features, such as macrocephaly, clinodactyly, essential for the diagnosis of SRS. Routine cytogenetic studies with GTG-banding showed 46,XY,t(11;16)(p13;q24.3). Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) with single copy probes BAC (11p13) and PAC (16q24.3), showed a reciprocal translocation. Chromosomal analysis of the mother was normal and the phenotypically normal father had apparently identical translocation t(11;16)(p13;q24.3). The disruption of growth factor genes at 11p and 16q breakpoint regions due to reciprocal translocation in the father might have caused SRS phenotype in the child.
