## Abstract Angelman and PraderβWilli syndromes are clinically distinct neurobehavioral disorders most commonly resulting from large deletions of chromosome 15q11βq13. The deletions arise differentially during maternal or paternal gametogenesis, respectively. A subgroup of patients with either synd
A 29-year-old male with Angelman syndrome and an unbalanced reciprocal translocation, 45,XY,-8, -15,+der(8),t(8;15)(p23.3;qll)pat, was evaluated with DNA studies. These showed the underlying mechanism to be paternal uniparental disomy. This is the second case reported of Angelman syndrome that has r
A balanced Robertsonian translocation 45,XY,t(15q15q) was detected in a patient with mental retardation, microcephaly, and hypertonia. Deletion of the 15qllq13 region was unlikely based on fluorescence in situ hybridization studies that revealed hybridization of appropriate DNA probes to both arms o
