Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a multiple congenital anomaly, mental retardation (MCA/MR) syndrome associated with deletion of chromosome 17 band p11.2. As part of a multi-disciplinary clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular approach to SMS, detailed clinical studies including radiographic, neurologic
We used probes from the juxtacentromeric region of the chromosome 17 short arm to map three microdeletions in patients with Smith-Magenis syndrome. The common clinical findings were: speech delay with behavioural problems associated with broad flat midface, brachycephaly, broad nasal bridge and brac
We report on a 22-year-old woman carrying a del(17)(p11.2p12) and presenting with the clinical manifestations of both Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) and Joubert syndrome (JS). Her facial anomalies, brachydactyly, severe mental retardation, and selfinjuring behavior could be attributed to SMS, whereas
