This letter discusses two recent reports of Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) cases with atypical deletions within the 15q11.2 region. The genetic and clinical complexity highlights the need for caution when interpreting individual cases, supports a symptom‐based management approach, and calls for controlled experimental research to elucidate the regulatory landscape of the PWS locus.
这封信讨论了最近两份关于普拉德-威利综合征(PWS)病例的报告,这些病例在15q11.2区域存在非典型缺失。遗传和临床的复杂性凸显了在解读个别病例时需要谨慎,支持基于症状的管理方法,并呼吁开展对照实验研究以阐明PWS基因座的调控格局。
