Summary

A deletion on chromosome 6 long arm can mimic Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) features. Genetic testing for 6q deletions is recommended for patients with PWS phenotypes but without 15q11-q13 deletions.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Clinical Genetics
  • Chromosomal Abnormalities

Background:

  • Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex genetic disorder typically associated with deletions or other abnormalities in the 15q11-q13 region.
  • Some individuals present with PWS-like features but lack the characteristic genetic markers for PWS, suggesting alternative genetic causes.
  • Interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 6 (6q) have been infrequently reported and their association with PWS-like phenotypes requires further investigation.
