22q13 deletion syndrome, known as Phelan–McDermid syndrome (PMS), is a genetic disorder caused by deletions or rearrangements on the q terminal end (long arm) of chromosome 22. Any abnormal genetic variation in the q13 region that presents with significant manifestations ( phenotype ) typical of a terminal deletion may be diagnosed as 22q13 ...
