The Prader-Willi syndrome and the Angelman syndrome are caused by the loss of function of distinct but closely linked genes on human chromosome 15. Based on a yeast artificial chromosome restriction map and two key patients we have determined that the shortest region of deletion overlap in the Prader-Willi syndrome comprises 320 kb. The region includes the anonymous DNA marker PW71 (D15S63) and the gene for the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein N (SNRPN). The SNRPN gene maps 130 kb distal to PW71 and is transcribed from centromere to telomere.
普拉德-威利综合征和安吉尔曼综合征是由人类15号染色体上不同但紧密相连的基因功能丧失引起的。基于酵母人工染色体限制性图谱和两名关键患者,我们确定普拉德-威利综合征中缺失重叠的最短区域为320 kb。该区域包括匿名DNA标记PW71(D15S63)和小核核糖核蛋白N(SNRPN)的基因。SNRPN基因位于PW71远端130 kb处,从着丝粒向端粒转录。
