The purpose of this paper is to review the association between genetic syndromes and self-injurious behaviour.
The information available from the literature on the subject of self-injurious behaviours and genetic syndromes was collated and presented with a critical appraisal.
Self-injurious behaviours are associated with some genetic syndromes. However, the causal relationship between the genetic syndromes and the self-injurious behaviour remains far from clear.
Although self-injurious behaviour has been shown to be the part of a broader phenotype in many genetic disorders, the specificity and sensitivity of these behaviours in this context remain unclear.
本文旨在综述遗传综合征与自我伤害行为之间的关联。
整理了文献中关于自我伤害行为和遗传综合征主题的可用信息，并进行了批判性评估。
自我伤害行为与某些遗传综合征有关。然而，遗传综合征与自我伤害行为之间的因果关系仍远未明确。
尽管在许多遗传疾病中，自我伤害行为已被证明是更广泛表型的一部分，但在这种情况下这些行为的特异性和敏感性仍不清楚。
