Angelman Syndrome: Genetic Mechanisms and Relationship to Prader-Willi Syndrome.

Smith, Arabella

Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, v19 n4 p259-68 1994

Research points to two distinct regions within the Prader-Willi chromosome region: one for Prader Willi syndrome and one for Angelman syndrome. Genetic mechanisms in Angelman syndrome are complex, and at present, three mechanisms are recognized: maternal deletion, paternal uniparental disomy, and a nondeleted nondisomic form. (Author/JDD)
