Introduction: Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is an imprinting disorder characterized by intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation. The pathogenic alterations and phenotypes are heterogeneous.

Methods: Here, we present a rare pedigree of duplications with different methylation patterns in 11p15.5, which caused SRS or a normal phenotype across three generations.

Results: Duplications of maternal IC2 (copy number of 3) with enhanced methylation (methylation index of 0.62) resulted in typical SRS.

Conclusion: The result added to the complexity of the molecular genetics of SRS.
