Smith–Fineman–Myers syndrome (SFMS1), also called X-linked mental retardation-hypotonic facies syndrome 1 (MRXHF1), Carpenter–Waziri syndrome, Chudley–Lowry syndrome, Holmes–Gang syndrome and Juberg–Marsidi syndrome (JMS),[1] is a rare X-linked recessive[2] congenital disorder that causes birth defects, including mental retardation. The head is small, narrow, and elongated. Those affected by this illness exhibit dwarfism (are shorter than would be expected) and have deformed chests,[3] as well as hypogonadism and mild obesity.[4] It is named for Robert M. Fineman, Gart G. Myers, and Richard D. Smith.[3]

It is associated with ATRX.
