Best Answer

A deletion or other structural modification of the terminal end of chromosome 22 in the 22q13 region, or a disease-causing (pathogenic) variation of the SHANK3 gene, causes Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS). Phelan-McDermid syndrome does not have a specific treatment. The focus of treatment is on addressing the symptoms while also thoroughly screening for any related diseases. New therapies for this condition are now being tested in clinical studies.

What is Bruchettes syndrome?

I think you mean Behcet's syndrome. A triad of symptoms that include recurring crops of mouth ulcers, genital ulcers, and inflammation of a specialized area around the pupil of the eye. The inflammation of the area of the eye that is around the pupil is called uveitis. Behcet's syndrome is also sometimes referred to as Behcet's disease. The cause of Behcet's syndrome is not known. The disease is more frequent and severe in patients from the Eastern Mediterranean and Asia than those of European descent. Both inherited (genetic) and environmental factors, such as microbe infections, are suspected to be factors that contribute to the development of Behcet's syndrome. Behcet's syndrome is not felt to be contagious.
