Butler, MD, PhD Douglas C.

To determine whether phenotypic differences exist among individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome with either type I or type II deletions of chromosome 15 or maternal disomy 15 leading to a better understanding of cause and pathophysiology of this classical genetic syndrome.

THE GENES INVOLVED IN PRADER-WILLI AND ANGELMAN SYNDROMES In 1981, the Prader-Willi syndrome was found to be associated with a very small deletion in the long arm of human chromosome 15, between bands q11 and q13 (Ledbetter et al., 1981). However, in 1987, an identical deletion was reported in a number of patients who suffered from a very different disease, Angelman syndrome. These syndromes give quite distinct phenotypes (Figure 1). Prader-Willi syndrome is characterized by developmental delay, cryptorchidism (small or undescended testes), hyperphagia obesity (fatness due to overeating in an attempt to reach satiety), short stature, and mild retardation. Angelman syndrome is characterized by seizures, severe mental retardation, inappropriate laughter, and a characteristic face that is small with a large mouth and prominent chin. FIGURE 1. Typical phenotypes of Angelman (left) and Prader-Willi (right) syndrome patients. The difference between them belies the fact they they are caused by the same chromosomal deletion. (From Nicholls, 1994; Photographs courtesy of R. D. Nicholls). The resolution to the paradox of two different syndromes caused by the same chromosomal deletion came in 1989 when it was discovered the Prader-Willi syndrome was always caused by defects involving the paternally derived chromosome, while Angelman syndrome was always caused by deletions in the maternally derived chromosome (Knoll et al., 1989).

Recommend Us tell a friend about us or email this page to a friend prader willi syndrome Main Diseases and Conditions Prader Willi Syndrome Prader Willi Syndrome is a genetic condition that is usually caused by a microdeletion (meaning a small piece of the chromosome is missing) of band q11.2 of the long arm of chromosome 15. In children with Prader Willi Syndrome, this chromosomal deletion is derived from the father. If the same microdeletion were derived from the mother, then it would cause Angelman syndrome instead. The process where a chromosomal abnormality can cause different syndromes depending on if it is inherited from the mother or father is called genetic imprinting. Related Topics Speech Delays Mental Retardation Although this is a genetic disorder, it is not necessarily inherited. Instead, it is usually (70% of cases) caused by the lack of genetic material that the father would have contributed to his child from chromosome 15 and this most often occurs because of a spontaneous genetic mutation around the time of conception.

In childhood, features of the disorder include short stature, genital abnormalities and an excessive appetite. Progressive obesity results because of a lack of feeling satisfied after completing a meal (satiety) that leads to overeating. Without appropriate treatment, individuals with severe progressive obesity may have an increased risk of cardiac insufficiency, diabetes or other serious conditions that may lead to potentially life-threatening complications. All individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome have some cognitive impairment that ranges from borderline normal with learning disabilities to mild mental retardation. Behavior problems are common and can include temper tantrums, obsessive/compulsive behavior, and skin picking.
