Smith-Magenis Syndrome: A Complex Developmental Disorder

Grinning with Gavin

Affecting multiple organ systems of the body, Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS) is a congenital developmental disorder. At Grinning with Gavin, we spread awareness of this condition and raise funding for research and development that aim to provide affected individuals with a better quality of life.

The Impact of SMS

SMS was identified in 1982. While it affects 1 in 15,000 live births, many go undiagnosed. The SMS Research Foundation has been working to find ways to improve the solutions and options available to individuals living with SMS.
