Abstract
A family is described with a syndrome of short stature, abnormal pigmentation of the skin and mild facial dysmorphism. The short stature and pigmentary anomalies were more marked in the males than the females. The pattern of inheritance appeared X-linked. In 2 young brothers the clinical picture mimicked that of the Russell-Silver syndrome. It is suggested that the Russell-Silver syndrome is heterogeneous and that the criteria for its diagnosis need re-evaluation.Keywords
