Russell-Silver syndrome (RSS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), postnatal growth failure, and distinctive dysmorphic features. We present a case of a four-year-old male presenting with a slow growth velocity with a history of IUGR and surgical interventions, exhibiting classic RSS features. Laboratory investigations revealed low insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and low growth hormone (GH) levels on stimulation tests. Clinical exome sequencing revealed a de novo mutation in the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene. Additionally, a variant of uncertain significance in the DHX37 gene was noted in the patient and the asymptomatic father. After genetic counseling, recombinant GH therapy was initiated. This case underscores the genetic complexity of RSS and highlights the importance of early diagnosis, genetic testing, and multidisciplinary management in optimizing outcomes for patients with RSS.

“…With growth charts (category iii) , the visual representation of growth references for clinical use , many innovative approaches have developed around the world (Cole, 2012). In India, great work has been done on incorporating cut‐offs for abnormal BMI into the growth curves, such that providers instantly receive an alert of clinically relevant cut‐offs without extra work (Khadilkar et al, 2020). Growth charts with built‐in parental height calculators are also available, making pediatric practice more efficient (Parekh & Khadilkar, 2020).…”

Child growth measurements are critical vital signs to track, with every individual child growth curve potentially revealing a story about a child's health and well-being. Simply put, every baby born requires basic building blocks to grow and thrive: proper nutrition, love and care, and medical health. To ensure that every child who is missing one of these vital aspects is identified, growth is traditionally measured at birth and each well-child visit. While the blue and pink growth curves appear omnipresent in pediatric clinics, it is surprising to realize that their use only became standard of care in 1977 when the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) adopted the growth curve as a clinical tool for health. Behind this practice lies a socioeconomically, culturally, and politically complex interplay of individuals and institutions around the world.In this review, we highlight the often forgotten past, current state of practice, and future potential of this powerful clinical tool: the growth reference chart, with a particular focus on clinical genetics practice. The goal of this article is to understand ongoing work in the field of anthropometry (the scientific study of human measurements) and its direct impact on modern pediatric and genetic patient care.child growth measurements, genetics, growth curves, history of growth screening, pediatrics, routine growth screening | INTRODUCTION: THE RELEVANCE OF PEDIATRIC CHILD GROWTH MONITORINGChild growth measurements are arguably critical vital signs to track, with every individual child growth curve potentially revealing a story about a child's health and well-being (Casadei & Kiel, 2022). Simply put, every baby born requires three basic building blocks to grow and thrive: proper nutrition, love and care, and medical health. The most rapid period of growth occurs in the first year of life, the most critical time in a child's development followed by puberty (Tanner, 1981).Proactive, early, and consistent growth screening offers a means to identify children at greatest risk for medical, nutritional, or genetic problems with the goal of promptly providing interventions and treatment to give every child an optimal chance for lifelong well-being (Haymond et al., 2013). Since the 1960s, when the first child with growth hormone deficiency was successfully treated (Tanner, 1981), there has been an explosion of treatment options for children found to have medical causes of growth abnormalities.While arguably basic measurements can be obtained in any living room (Figure 1), the reason that they are performed in pediatric and specialty clinics is that mismeasurement is a common problem. Accurate measurements and interpretation with analysis to both growth patterns and velocity have medical relevance .

A bstract Aim To report a unique case of Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) in a young boy and discuss the oral health impact and management of the disease. Background Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) is a rare autoimmune disorder with various clinical manifestations. Biallelic mutations in the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene lead to impairment of central immune tolerance and a targeted attack on various endocrine and non-endocrine organs. Patients classically suffer from a triad of disorders, including chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC), hypoparathyroidism, and adrenocortical failure (Addison's disease). Results In recent times, it has been observed that oral manifestations of the disorder, such as enamel hypoplasia, appear early and frequently. Affected individuals require a comprehensive preventive and minimally invasive approach for oral health along with follow-up throughout their lifespan to manage potentially life-threatening disease manifestations. Conclusion Prompt recognition by a pediatric dentist can facilitate an earlier diagnosis and allow for screening, preventive and therapeutic services. Clinical Significance To deliver oral health care in an effective and comprehensive manner, clinicians should be able to recognize, diagnose and manage the signs and symptoms of the disease.
