Illustration of two individuals, one affected with Angelman and the other with Prader–Willi syndrome. The maternal and paternal regions of 15q illustrate how restriction enzymes can generate different size fragments that can be used to distinguish microdeletions or other abnormalities in the paternal or the maternal chromosome. For Angelman syndrome, absence of the maternal 15q region (or imprinting problems that interfere with appropriate methylation of this region) will result in smaller fragment sizes due to the action of the Not-1 enzyme on the paternal region. The reverse is the case with Prader–Willi syndrome. This and related methodologies are important initial screening tests for these conditions. Source: Chapter 21.
