We present a 7-year-old boy with growth retardation, developmental and mental delay, and minor physical abnormalities. The patient had a male karyotype with duplicated material of unknown origin in the long arm of chromosome 17. The origin of the duplicated material was clarified by fluorescence in
D u p l i c a t i o n s o f c h r o m o s o m e r e g i o n 15q11q13 often occur as a supernumerary chromosome 15. Less frequently they occur as interstitial duplications [dup(15)]. We describe the clinical and molecular characteristics of three patients with de novo dup(15). The patients, two males
## Abstract PraderβWilli syndrome (PWS) is caused by the disturbed expression of genes from the imprinted region of 15q11βq13, but the specific contributions of individual genes remain unknown. Most paternal PWS deletions are bracketed by recurrent breakpoints BP1 or BP2 and BP3. Atypical deletions
