Normally, we inherit one copy of each chromosome pair from our biological mother, and the other copy of the chromosome pair from our biological father. Uniparental disomy refers to the situation in which two copies of a chromosome come from the same parent, instead of one copy coming from the mother and one copy coming from the father. Angelman syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome are examples of disorders caused by uniparental disomy.

Extractions: I. Definitions: Chromosome 15 - The chromosome that is abnormal in Angelman syndrome. We have 23 pairs of chromosomes, one derived from each parent. There are 22 pairs that are numbered numerically from 1 to 22, the final pair is an X and Y. We receive one chromosome 15 from our mother and one chromosome 15 from our father. Chromosomes contain millions of molecules that are condensed together at the time of cell division and thus are able to be seen under the microscope. 15qll-13 Region - Chromosomes are divided into short arms and long arms and have a central segment called a centromere. The short arm is call "P" and the long arm is called "q". The "q" region is divided numerically into several segments and the q11 - 13 segment refers to an area that is toward the middle of the number 15 chromosome. It spans about 5-10 million nucleic acid molecules so this region includes many genes. It is the

Extractions: Gallery My daughter Liselotte has Angelman syndrome, a neurological disorder that is so rare that often I have to explain what it is, even to medical professionals. When Liselotte was diagnosed, June 1996, there was little information on the web, except for a page in England maintained by John Miles. When I heard that this Angelman site was to be discontinued I asked and was given permission to copy the contents of the page to mine. I decided to add links to everything I had found and share other things I learned about AS. Now there are many web sites about Angelman Syndrome, and the time has come to share the work. My links page, for instance, links to the links page of the IASO. The things that distinguish this site from others are Martha Sprowles's brochure for parents new to AS (under the "The facts" menu item) and the Photo Gallery. Don't leave this site without having had a look at those sections. The section written by John Miles is somewhat outdated, especially on the genetics part. The reason why it's still on this site is because the document convinced me that my daughter had this syndrome when she was 7 months. That makes it a valuable piece of writing, and please visit other sites for an update on the chromosome and the gene stuff.

Extractions: J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry,39:7, 931-934 July 2000 Paul J. Lombroso, M.D. The contribution to human diseases of the genetic mechanism called imprinting has been discovered only during the past decade. Imprinting is not consistent with our previous understanding of how genes are expressed. Prior belief was that each gene in a cell had 2 alleles, one on the maternal and the other on the paternal chromosome. When a gene was turned on, both alleles were transcribed equally and functional protein was produced from both chromosomes. For the majority of genes, this is exactly what happens. However, when there is genetic imprinting, just 1 of the 2 alleles is expressed, while the other is silenced or "imprinted." Whether the allele is transcribed or not depends on whether it lies on the chromosome derived from the father or that derived from the mother. Angelman and Prader-Willi syndromes are 2 illnesses that exemplify this mechanism. The molecular basis for Prader-Willi was discussed in the last column. The molecular basis for Angelman will serve as the focus for the present column. I will review the clinical symptoms before turning to a discussion of the genetic basis for the disorder. Individuals with Angelman syndrome (AS) have severe motor and intellectual retardation. They are often hypotonic at birth, develop epilepsy soon thereafter, and rarely develop speech. They have unusual facies characterized by a large mandible and an open-mouthed expression. Additional features include an abnormal gait and puppet-like movements of their limbs. They are often described as "happy" children because of their frequent smiles and laughter. Several additional features include a facility for protruding their tongues, abnormal skin pigmentation, and a characteristic abnormal EEG discharge pattern.

People with Angelman syndrome (AS) have mental retardation, severe speech problems, stiff arm movements, and a stiff, uncoordinated walk. They may have seizures and often have inappropriate outbursts of laughter. Angelman syndrome results when a baby inherits both copies of chromosome #15 from the father (rather than one from the mother and one from the father). What is Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS)?
