Array‐based comparative genomic hybridization analysis of recurrent chromosome 15q rearrangements
11 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
Genomic rearrangements of chromosome 15q11-q13 cause diverse phenotypes including autism, Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), and Angelman syndrome (AS). This region is subject to genomic imprinting and characterized by complex combinations of low copy repeat elements. Prader-Willi and Angelman syndrome are caused primarily by 15q11-13 deletions of paternal and maternal origin, respectively. Autism is seen with...
