Yes, Smith-Magenis syndrome is typically caused by a deletion or mutation in the RAI1 gene, which is located on chromosome 17. It is considered an autosomal dominant disorder, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene inherited from a parent is sufficient to cause the syndrome. However, most cases arise from spontaneous mutations rather than being inherited from affected parents.
