However, establishing the true prevalence of these disorders is critical for understanding disease burden, pharmacoeconomic modeling, and resource allocation for testing and care. Phelan\u2010McDermid syndrome (PMS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder with an unknown true prevalence and previous estimates vary from 2.5\u201310 per million births. The study team reached out to a multitude of sources, including clinical genetic testing laboratories, research centers, and clinical centers. Sites provided the number of PMS diagnoses made out of the total number participants with autism tested at their site. Further extrapolations were made to adjust for the proportion of individuals with PMS who do not have autism, autism diagnosis age limitations, and type of genetic variant. Lastly, Centers for Disease Control estimates of autism rates were used to extrapolate to the general population. Ten sources participated and data from 179,837 autism cases were evaluated. The frequency of PMS diagnoses ranged from 1% to ~2.5%. However, the studies had different levels of sensitivity depending on the assay(s) used, and therefore raw results should not be directly compared. After applying extrapolations, including adjustments for assay sensitivity and other factors, the final weighted average was 13.7 per 100,000 (95% CI 10.02\u201318.60 per 100,000), indicating 1 in ~7300 individuals in the general population have PMS. We leveraged a diverse set of genetic data from multiple sources to generate a population\u2010level estimate of the prevalence of PMS. Our findings indicate that PMS affects approximately 13.7 per 100,000 individuals, substantially higher than previous estimates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/aur.70297","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,29]],"date-time":"2026-06-29T05:30:12Z","timestamp":1782711012000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Prevalence of Phelan\n                    <scp>McDermid<\/scp>\n                    Syndrome Estimated To Be ~1:7300 Using a Multisource Model"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Tess","family":"Levy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai  New York New York USA"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai  New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Lapidus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LapidusData Inc.
