Abstract excerpt
Most patients with Prader-Willi syndrome have a deletion of 15q11-13 or maternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 15. The shortest region of deletion overlap is presently defined by the gene for the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein N (SNRPN). We have investigated the integrity of SNRPN as well as the methylation status of D15S63 (PW71) in two patients with apparently normal chromosomes 15 of biparental origin....
