Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by haploinsufficiency of the Retinoic Acid Induced 1 (RAI1) gene located at 17p11.2. It is estimated that approximately 90% of patients have a 17p11.2 deletion, including the RAI1 gene, while the remaining 10% exhibit a heterozygous mutation in the RAI1 gene. In this study, we report the generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line derived from a 14-year-old female with an RAI1 mutation, which led to the onset of the SMS phenotype, starting from primary fibroblasts.

Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a genomic disorder caused by the deletion of a chromosomal region at 17p11.2. Individuals with SMS are frequently diagnosed with autism and have profound cortical deficits, including reduced cortex volume, mild ventriculomegaly, and epilepsy.

Objectives: To assess the clinicopathologic features of breast cancers with complete CEP17 deletion and determine if alternative testing can resolve their HER2 status.
Methods: Cases with complete CEP17 deletion were identified, relevant clinicopathologic information was obtained, and fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) was rerun with an alternative chromosome 17 control gene (RAI1, 17p11.2).

Haploinsufficiency disorders are genetic diseases caused by reduced gene expression, leading to developmental, metabolic, and tumorigenic abnormalities. The dosage-sensitive Retinoic Acid Induced 1 () gene, located within the 17p11.2 region, is central to the core features of Smith--Magenis syndrome (SMS) and Potocki--Lupski syndrome (PTLS), caused by the reciprocal microdeletions and microduplications of this region, respectively.

Benign adult familial myoclonus epilepsy (BAFME) is an autosomal dominantly inherited disease characterized by infrequent seizures and tremorous myoclonus. The disease is also called familial adult myoclonic epilepsy (FAME) or familial cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy (FCMTE). Although the causes of BAFME had been unknown for a long, we identified TTTCA and TTTTA repeat expansions in intron 4 of SAMD12 as a cause of BAFME type 1.

Background: Retinoic acid-induced 1 () is a dosage-sensitive gene implicated in a range of rare neuropsychiatric diseases.
Methods: This review provides a comprehensive overview of role, integrating both clinical and basic research on Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) and Potocki-Lupski syndrome (PTLS) while also summarising research progress on its involvement in spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression. A systematic review of the literature was conducted using PubMed and EMBASE, following the PRISMA guidelines, with the protocol registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023474165).
