Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a rare syndrome with multiple congenital malformations, including development and mental retardation, behavioral problems and a distinct facial appearance. SMS is caused by haploinsufficiency of RAI1 (deletion or mutation of RAI1). We describe an eight-year-old female Chinese patient with multiple malformations, congenital heart defect, mental retardation, and behavioral problems (self hugging, sleeping disturbance). High-resolution genome wide single nucleotide polymorphism array revealed a 3.7-Mb deletion in chromosome region 17p11.2. This chromosome region contains RAI1, a critical gene involved in SMS. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an SMS patient in mainland China.
史密斯-马吉尼斯综合征(SMS)是一种罕见的综合征,伴有多种先天性畸形,包括发育和智力迟缓、行为问题以及独特的面部外观。SMS由RAI1单倍剂量不足(RAI1缺失或突变)引起。我们描述了一名8岁中国女性患者,她有多种畸形、先天性心脏缺陷、智力迟缓以及行为问题(自我拥抱、睡眠障碍)。高分辨率全基因组单核苷酸多态性阵列显示17p11.2染色体区域存在3.7兆碱基的缺失。该染色体区域包含RAI1,这是一个与SMS相关的关键基因。据我们所知,这是中国大陆首例SMS患者的报告。
