Smith-Magenis syndrome (Ann C. M. Smith)
Associated persons:
Ruth Ellen Magenis
Ann C. M. Smith
Description:
A rare condition characterized by facial dysmorphy with distinctive facial features progress with age, developmental delay, cognitive impairment with moderate to severe learning difficulties, and behavioural abnormalities including frequent outbursts/temper tantrums, attention seeking and self-injurious behaviours. About 1 in 25,000 children are born with this condition, which us caused by an interstitial deletion of chromosome 17p11.2. In 1986, Ann C. M. Smith and Ruth Ellen Magenis described 9 individuals with a chromosomal deletion at 17p11.2
