Prader-Willi (PWS) and Angelman (AS) syndromes are distinct disorders caused by alterations in the same region of DNA on chromosome 15. Approximately 99% of PWS cases and 80% of AS cases are detectable by this assay.

Prader-Willi (PWS) and Angelman (AS) syndromes are distinct disorders caused by alterations in the same region of DNA on chromosome 15. Approximately 99% of PWS cases and 80% of AS cases are detectable by this assay.
Limitations; This test analyzes the critical PWS/AS region of chromosome 15, and will identify 99% of individuals affected with PWS and 78% of individuals affected with AS. The test can help confirm a clinical diagnosis of PWS/AS, but cannot determine the underlying cause. Additional genetic testing would be needed to determine the reason for an alteration on chromosome 15.
