Article Synopsis
- - Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS) is a rare genetic disorder linked to intellectual disability, behavioral issues, and sleep problems, caused by a deletion in the chromosome band 17p11.2 affecting the RAI1 gene.
- - RAI1 plays a role in neurodevelopment and may be connected to Parkinson's disease (PD), which is characterized by motor symptoms like tremors and bradykinesia.
- - A case study of a patient with both SMS and early-onset PD raises questions about the relationship between RAI1 gene variations and PD, highlighting the need for more research and attention from caregivers regarding potential PD symptoms in SMS patients.
Schizophrenia affects approximately 1% of the world population. Genetics, epigenetics, and environmental factors are known to play a role in this psychiatric disorder. While there is a high concordance in monozygotic twins, about half of twin pairs are discordant for schizophrenia.
