Abstract: | We report on an additional fourth case of Prader-Willi (PW)-like phenotype and an interstitial deletion of 6q. Despite sharing clinical characteristics, patients with a PW-like phenotype and a deletion of 6q, have features which distinguish them from Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) patients. This case emphasizes the need to examine patients with suspected PWS, but who are negative for recognizable deletions of 15q11-q13 or uniparental maternal disomy of chromosome 15, for a deletion of 6q. |
