β¦ Synopsis
A non-reciprocal translocation (5; 15) and an isodicentric (15) resulting in trisomy 15pter+ 15q1?3 and monosomy 5qter [46,XY, -5, -15, +der(5)t(5;15) (5pter-t5q35:: 15q13-t lfiqter), +idic(15)(pter-+q1?3::q1?3+pter)] was found in a 28-year-old profoundly retarded male resident of a state institution. Early developmental history and childhood and adult physical findings resembled those of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) patients. The parents' unbanded chromosomes were normal. Blood groups of parents and propositus were uninformative with regard to identifying gene deletions or duplications.

A deletion of the long arm of chromosome 15 (usually involving bands 15qll-q12) has been seen in approximately 50% of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) patients [Ledbetter et al, 19821. However, 14 patients with non-PWS (or atypical PWS) phenotype with 15q deletion indicate great clinical variability. A d
We studied after death a 3-month-old girl whose karyotype was 4S,XX,-lS, -17, +der(17),t(15; 17)(q13;p13.3) and thus combines abnormalities of chromosome 15 associated with the Prader-Willi syndrome and of chromosome 17 associated with the Miller-Dieker syndrome. This infant had several manifestatio
We have evaluated fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis for the clinical laboratory detection of the 15qll-ql3 deletion seen in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and Angelman syndrome (AS) using probes for loci D15Sl1, SNRPN, D15S10, and GABRB3. In a series of 118 samples from patients referr
