Özet

Objective: Prader-Willi (PWS) and Angelman syndromes (AS) are genomic imprinting diseases with intellectual disability. In approximately 70 % of the cases, there is a cytogenetic deletion involving the chromosome 15q11-q13 inherited from patient's father (in PWS) and from patient's mother (in AS). In approximately 20-25% and 3-7% of the cases, there is an uniparental disomy (UPD) of chromosome 15 in PWS and AS patients, respectively. The mutation ratio in AS patients is approximately 10 %, while the ratio is two percent in PWS patients.
