Deletions of proximal 15q and non‐classical Prader‐Willi syndrome phenotypes

Deletions of proximal 15q and non‐classical Prader‐Willi syndrome phenotypes A deletion of the long arm of chromosome 15 (usually involving bands 15q 11‐q12) has been seen in approximately 50% of Prader‐Willi syndrome (PWS) patients [Ledbetter et al, 1982]. However, 14 patients with non‐PWS (or atypical PWS) phenotype with 15q deletion indicate great clinical variability. A deletion was found in a propositus with a de novo translocation [45, XY,−15, −22, +rec(15;22)(22pter → 22q13.2::15q14 → 15qter)], who had anomalies not normally observed in PWS patients. Activities of several enzymes mapped to the involved chromosomes were studied in the patient and control individuals. A 50% decrease in the level of arylsulfatase‐A confirmed a small deletion in 22q(22q13.2 → qter), and additional studies localized more precisely the loci for α‐mannosidase (cytoplasmic) and β‐galactosidase. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A Wiley

Abstract

A deletion of the long arm of chromosome 15 (usually involving bands 15q 11‐q12) has been seen in approximately 50% of Prader‐Willi syndrome (PWS) patients [Ledbetter et al, 1982]. However, 14 patients with non‐PWS (or atypical PWS) phenotype with 15q deletion indicate great clinical variability. A deletion was found in a propositus with a de novo translocation [45, XY,−15, −22, +rec(15;22)(22pter → 22q13.2::15q14 → 15qter)], who had anomalies not normally observed in PWS patients. Activities of several enzymes mapped to the involved chromosomes were studied in the patient and control individuals. A 50% decrease in the level of arylsulfatase‐A confirmed a small deletion in 22q(22q13.2 → qter), and additional studies localized more precisely the loci for α‐mannosidase (cytoplasmic) and β‐galactosidase.
