Hi
there!
My name is "Jim" and I have Smith-Magenis Syndrome. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Katherine Walz and Dr. James Lupski and others in the Lupski laboratory, researchers have developed mice with SMS. The mice live in Houston at the Baylor College of Medicine. Researchers at Baylor are studying the mice to help them better understand SMS.
Our
hope is that these small animals will give researchers greater perspective on
the biological basis of SMS. In addition, the mice will allow them to study
behavior and abnormalities of the nervous system in great detail and in a great
number of "subjects" with the ultimate goal of improving the lifestyle
of persons who are born with this chromosome deletion.
