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 disorders and to improve molecular diagnostic methods, we have isolated three dinucleotide repeat markers in the PWS/AS...
