Abstract excerpt
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and Angelman syndrome (AS) are distinct mental retardation disorders caused by a deficiency of paternal (PWS) or maternal (AS) contributions for chromosome 15 by either deletion or uniparental disomy (UPD). To further study the molecular mechanisms involved in these di...
