A member asked:
Does anyone know the gene of angelman syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Deletion: A small interstitial deletion between 15q11 and 15q13 can result in two completely different clinical syndromes depending upon the parental origin of the chromosome with the deletion. A paternally-derived chromosome 15 with this deletion results in prader-willi syndrome, and a maternally-derived chromosome 15 with a similar deletion results in angelman syndrome (or happy-puppet syndrome).
