ABSTRACT
Lymphedema is a troubling condition present in many disorders including the rare genetic disorder known as Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS). The neurobehavioral features of PMS, also known as 22q13.3 deletion syndrome, have been investigated, but little research exists on lymphedema in PMS. In this investigation, clinical and genetic data from 404 people with PMS were reviewed from the PMS-International Registry revealing a prevalence of 5% with lymphedema. Lymphedema was reported in 1 out of 47 people (2.1%) with PMS due to a SHANK3 variant and 19 out of 357 people (5.3%) with PMS due to 22q13.3 deletions. Lymphedema was more common among those in their teens or adulthood (p = 0.0011) and those with deletions >4 Mb. People with lymphedema had significantly larger deletions (mean 5.375 Mb) than those without lymphedema (mean 3.464 Mb, p = 0.00496). Association analysis identified a deletion of the CELSR1 gene to be the biggest risk factor (OR = 12.9 95% CI [2.9-56.2]). Detailed assessment of 5 subjects identified all had deletions of CELSR1, developed symptoms of lymphedema starting at age 8 or older, and typically responded well to standard therapy. In conclusion, this is the largest assessment of lymphedema in PMS to date and our results suggest that individuals with deletions >4 Mb or those with CELSR1 deletions should be assessed for lymphedema.
