Clinical-neurologic, cytogenetic and molecular aspects of the Prader-Willi and Angelman Syndromes Aspectos clínico-neurológicos, citogenéticos e moleculares das síndromes de Prader-Willi e Angelman

The Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and the Angelman syndrome (AS) are human neurogenetic disorders involving the imprinting mechanism, at the 15q11-13 chromosome region. The predominant genetic defects in PW are 15q 11-13 deletions of paternal origin and maternal chromosome 15 uniparental disomy. In co...
