We report here two cases of nondeletion Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Case 1 is a 9-yr-old female patient with classical features of the syndrome and cytogenetically normal chromosome 15. DNA analysis using polymorphic probes for Prader-Willi Critical Region (PWCR) showed absence of paternal alleles while maternal uniparental isodisomy (UPisoD) was confirmed. This is the first report of nondeletion PWS with uniparental disomy (UPD) in the population of Kuwait. The second case with Prader-Willi syndrome-like features had normal chromosome 15 but showed familial complex chromosomal rearrangement (CCR) involving chromosomes 13, 19, and 20 inherited from his mother. No paternal deletion or UPD disomy was observed after DNA molecular analysis. This is a case of "atypical" PWS with no cytogenetic or molecular abnormality for PWCR. The two cases represent two different mechanisms associated with nondeletion PWS.

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by the loss of paternal genes on chromosome 15. The Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) is a standardized rating scale for assessing problematic behaviors in persons with developmental disabilities. Our study aims to describe ABC scores in youth with PWS and track their change over time.

The genotype-phenotype relationship in PWS patients is important for a better understanding of the clinical phenotype and clinical characteristics of different genotypes of PWS in children. We aimed to explore the influence of specific gene changes on the clinical symptoms of PWS and the value of early screening and early intervention of the condition. All data in this study were extracted from the database of the XiaoPang Weili Rare Disease Care Center.

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the age of diagnosis for children with one of three neurogenetic conditions resulting from changes in chromosome 15 (Angelman syndrome [AS], Prader-Willi syndrome [PWS], and duplication 15q syndrome [Dup15q]).
Methods: Data about the diagnostic process for each condition were contributed by the advocacy organizations. Median and interquartile ranges were calculated for each condition by molecular subtype and year.
