## 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
Eight novel mutations were identified in the gene encoding L1CAM, a neural cell adhesion protein, in patients/families with Xlinked hydrocephalus (XHC) providing additional evidence for extreme allelic heterogeneity of the trait. The two nonsense mutations (Gln440Ter and Gln1042Ter) result most like
RT-PCR and direct sequence analyses were used to define mutations in the cystathionine b -synthase (CBS) gene in two unrelated male patients with vitamin B6 nonresponsive homocystinuria. Both patients were compound heterozygotes for CBS alleles containing point mutations. One patient had a maternall
