A Streamlined Approach to Prader-Willi and Angelman Syndrome Molecular Diagnostics
Establishing or ruling out a molecular diagnosis of Prader–Willi or Angelman syndrome (PWS/AS) presents unique challenges due to the variety of different genetic alterations that can lead to these conditions. Point mutations, copy number changes, uniparental isodisomy (i-UPD) 15 of two subclasses (s...

description | Establishing or ruling out a molecular diagnosis of Prader–Willi or Angelman syndrome (PWS/AS) presents unique challenges due to the variety of different genetic alterations that can lead to these conditions. Point mutations, copy number changes, uniparental isodisomy (i-UPD) 15 of two subclasses (segmental or total isodisomy), uniparental heterodisomy (h-UPD), and defects in the chromosome 15 imprinting center can all cause PWS/AS. Here, we outline a combined approach using whole-exome sequencing (WES) and DNA methylation data with methylation-sensitive multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) to establish both the disease diagnosis and the mechanism of disease with high sensitivity using current standard of care technology and improved efficiency compared to serial methods. The authors encourage the use of this approach in the clinical setting to confirm and establish the diagnosis and genetic defect which may account for the secondary genetic conditions that may be seen in those with isodisomy 15, impacting surveillance and counseling with more accurate recurrence risks. Other similarly affected individuals due to other gene disorders or cytogenetic anomalies such as Rett syndrome or microdeletions would also be identified with this streamlined approach. |
