For Phelan-McDermid Syndrome participants, significantly more enzyme activity values were outside the normal range for complex I and IV, but not complexes II or II + III. Complex IV activity was significantly lower in Phelan-McDermid Syndrome participants as compared to controls. Variance in complex I and complex II + II were significantly different between Phelan-McDermid Syndrome participants and controls.
