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 relatively large survey of Prader-Willi syndrome, Angelman syndrome, and control subjects with the newly described methylation polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to determine its usefulness for molecular diagnosis. Sixty-one Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) individuals (26 men and 35 w

The putative promoter region of the SNRPN gene contains a CpG island which is heavily methylated in the maternally derived allele and unmethylated in the paternally derived allele. In patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) only the methylated allele is present, while in those with Angelman syndro
