✦ Synopsis

A total of 167 patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) was studied at the clinical and molecular level. Diagnosis was confirmed by the PW71 methylation test. Quantitative Southern blot hybridizations with a probe for the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein N were performed to distinguish between patients with a deletion (116 patient or 69.5%) and patients without a deletion (51 patients or 30.5%). These two types of patients differed with respect to the presence of hypopigmentation, which was more frequent in patients with a deletion (52%) than in patients without (23%), and to average birth weight of females and males, which was lower in patients with a deletion than in patients without. Newborns with PWS had a lower birth weight and length at term, but normal head circumference in comparison with a control group. This finding aids the identification of the neonatal phenotype. In addition, our data confirm an increased maternal age in the non-deletion group.

## Abstract Microdeletions of the 2q31.1 region are rare. We present the clinical and molecular findings of eight previously unreported patients with overlapping deletions in 2q31.1. The patients have a variable clinical phenotype and present with developmental delay (7/8), growth retardation (5/8)

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex multiple anomaly syndrome that has been shown to result from deficient expression of paternal chromosome 15(q11-q13). In most cases, it is caused either by deletion of this region in the paternally inherited chromosome 15 or by maternal uniparental disomy (UP

The molecular analysis of 127 DMD/BMD patients showed that 73 of them (57%) had deletions in the dystrophin gene. Two different methods were used in this study: (a) hybridization of HindIII-digested genomic DNA with nine cDNA probes corresponding to the entire 14kb cDNA of the DMD gene; and (b) simu

The Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) critical region on 15q11-q13 is subject to imprinting. PWS becomes apparent when genes on the paternally inherited chromosome are not expressed. Familial PWS is rare. We report on a family in which a male and a female paternal first cousin both have PWS with cytogenet
