Abstract excerpt
Schaaf-Yang syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome are imprinting disorders that result from the disruption of paternally expressed genes within the 15q11-q13 region. Both conditions present with overlapping clinical features including developmental delay, hypotonia and endocrine abnormalities. Schaaf-Yang syndrome specifically results from heterozygous variants in the paternally expressed MAGEL2 gene. Because these...
