  1. Resource Description
    "Specimen Requirements: 6.0 mL blood in EDTA vacutainer tube. For requisition slips. Pediatric Specimen Requirements: 2 mL blood in EDTA vacutainer tube. Reference Range: PWS is associated with the functional loss of inprinted genes located in the paternally derived 15q 11-q13 region. This is most commonly the result of either a paternal deletion of the 15q 11-q13 region (75% of cases) or maternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 15 (25% of cases). Interpretation: Professional interpretation of the methylation status of the small ribonucleoprotein associated polypeptide N (SNRPN) gene determines normal/disease states. Comments: Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA digested with specific restriction enzymes is used to assess imprinting and uniparental disomy of the 15q 11-q13 region. "
