Sporadic cases of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) are associated with the physical absence of the paternal Prader-Willi chromosome region (PWCR) by deletion 15q11-13, by segmental maternal heterodisomy or by chromosome rearrangements resulting in homozygosity for maternal PWCR. In isolated/familial cases, it is proposed that the expression of PWS depends on the functional absence caused by mutated gene(s) within the...
