Microcephaly, heart defects, cleft lip/palate
What is the postnatal prognosis for children with cri du chat syndrome
Typical life expectancy
Hypotonia, moderate to severe ID, low birth weight feeding difficulties
For Angelman & Prader Willi, which is caused by maternally expressed genes & which is caused by paternally expressed genes
Prader willi: caused by loss of function to paternally expressed genes
Angelman: caused by loss of function to maternally expressed genes
15q11.2-13
Deletions 70% of time for both
What findings are associated with Angelman syndrome pre & postnatally
Normal prenatal course, no major birth defects
Usually after one year of age : severe delays & ID, severe speech impairment, movement or balance disorder, relative microcephaly, seizures, feeding difficulties & hypotonia
What findings are associated with Prader willi syndrome pre & postnatally
Normal prenatal course, potentially reduced fetal movement
Severe hypotonia & feeding issues, excessive eating, behavioral, global delays, mild ID, hypogonadism
Which method of NIPT can detect uniparental disomy
SNP based method in theory, counting method can only do deletions
