Genomic imprinting: genetic mechanisms and phenotypic consequences in Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes

Chromosomal 15q11-q13 region is of great interest in Human Genetics because many structural rearrangements have been described for it (deletions, duplications and translocations) leading to phenotypes resulting in conditions such as the Prader-Willi (PWS) and Angelman (AS) syndromes which were the f...
