In various studies of psychiatric patients, alterations in adrenergic receptor (AR) expression or function have been suggested. Herein, the β£ 2A AR gene was screened in 206 patients with schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism, alcohol dependence, or cocaine dependence

Several recent studies have suggested the presence of mosaicism for a deletion, detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), within chromosome 15q11-q13 in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) [Mowery-Rushton et al., 1996;Malzac et al., 1998;Golden et al., 1999]. However, the evidence supporting mo
We report on a 24-year old woman with an Xq duplication and findings suggestive of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Her birth weight was at the 3rd centile and her birth length was less than the 3rd centile. She was hypotonic and had a weak cry as an infant. There were no feeding difficulties, although
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) results from absence of the normally active paternally inherited genes on proximal 15q, due to del(15)(q11q13) or by maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) 15 in most cases. In addition to a higher frequency of hypopigmentation among deletion patients, minor phenotypic differe
The 3p-syndrome results from deletion of a terminal segment of the short arm of one chromosome 3 (3p25βpter), and is characterized by multiple congenital anomalies and mental retardation. Due to its variable expression, it is assumed this disorder is a contiguous gene syndrome with an undefined numb
