Stefan Stamm and Shivendra Kishore, of the Friedrich-Alexander University Institute for Biochemistry, suggest that HBII-52, a non-coding RNA located on chromosome 15 regulates alternative splicing of ...

New approach finds ‘parent-of-origin’ effects in more than a dozen genes — without the need for parental data.

The syndrome involves the deletion of genes on the 15 th chromosome. Symptoms include mild albinism, low muscle tone, growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism and severe complex sleep apnea.

The portion of chromosome 15 that's affected in Prader-Willi syndrome is called 15q11.2-q13, and it's also known as the Prader-Willi syndrome/Angelman syndrome (PWS/AS) region.

In most cases of Prader-Willi syndrome, the responsible gene in the region of chromosome 15 from the father is missing and the mother’s copy is silent. Jiang and colleagues focused their work on ...

Prader–Willi syndrome is a rare genetic disorder in which seven genes (or some subset thereof) on chromosome 15 (q 11-13) are deleted or unexpressed (chromosome 15q partial deletion) on the ...

Prader-Willi syndrome is stated to be a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder stemming from an abnormality on chromosome 15 gene expression.

The drug, to be called Vykat XR, treats hyperphagia, the hallmark symptom of the Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder caused by full or partial deletions on chromosome 15 that affect the ...

Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by abnormalities in chromosome 15. Symptoms include low muscle tone, developmental delays, and behavioural challenges.
