prader-willi

loss of functioning genes on proximal arm of chromosome 15 (deletion from father or both from mother) imprinting (only one copy of a gene in an individual (either from their mother or their father) is expressed, while the other copy is suppressed)

absence of the active Prader-Willi gene on the long arm of chromosome 15. This may be due to:
microdeletion of paternal 15q11-13 (70% of cases)
maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 15

growth hormone to improve muscle development and body composition

Abnormal sleep patterns
Epilepsy
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
Dysmorphic features
Microcephaly

A

angelman

loss of function of the UBE3A gene, specifically the copy of the gene that is inherited from the mother. This can be caused by a deletion on chromosome 15, a specific mutation in this gene or where two copies of chromosome 15 are contributed by the father, with no copy from the mother.

In most cases (approximately 70%) it occurs as a sporadic mutation. The main risk factor is advancing parental age at the time of conception. Once present it is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion.
