Objectives: This study examined data on multidimensional functioning in a group of individuals with Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS). Methods: Parents of 19 children, adolescents, and young adults with SMS were interviewed on developmental, physical, medical, behavioral, and social-communicative aspects. Results: The data presented here provided relevant neurodevelopmental information, and focused not only on problems and deficits, but also on areas of relative strength, particularly social. Discussion: Our study contributed to further the understanding on the prevalence of a broad set of characteristics in a sample of individuals with SMS from a wide age range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
