Outline of Final Research Achievements

Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is a congenital developmental disorder characterized by pre- and postnatal growth failure, relative macrocephaly, triangular face, hemihypotrophy, and fifth finger clinodactly. SRS have a two major pathogenic factors. Previous studies have shown that epimutation(hypomethylation) of the paternally derived differentially methylated region(DMR) in the upstem of imprinting control region 1 (ICR1) located on the chr.11p15.5 and maternal uniparental disomy chr.7(upd(7)mat) account for around 45% and 5-10% of SRS patients, respectively. We performed methylation analysis for the of the 11p15 loci by pyrosequencing. As a result the SRS patients hypomethylations of ICR1 and was able to the definitive diagnosis. It is a study intended to elucidation of the disease establishment mechanism, the application to a clinical evaluation, improvement of the genetic counseling from the analysis of the SRS patient.
