AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* A confirmed clinical diagnosis of SMS with a prior positive genetic test result as indicated by a parent/guardian
* Informed consent from the patient or the legal guardian/assent provided by the individual with SMS, when possible
* Male or female between the ages of 6-50 years of age
* History of sleep disturbances
* Willing and able to comply with study requirements and restrictions
Exclusion Criteria:
* Failure to confirm diagnosis of SMS by molecular cytogenetic methods and/or DNA-based mutation analysis of the RAI1 gene
* Totally blind with no light perception
* Institutionalized or living in an assisted living facility
* Unwilling or unable to follow medication restrictions (medications that affect sleep or melatonin secretion) or unwilling or unable to sufficiently wash-out from use of a restricted medication
* Any medical condition, as determined by the clinical investigator that would make it unsafe for blood draws (e.g., anemia, blood clotting disorders, anxiety, etc.)
* Any other sound medical reason as determined by the clinical investigator
