	Partial charge Encyclopedia
		A partial charge is a charge with an absolute value of less than one elementary charge unit (that is, smaller than the charge of the electron).
		Partial atomic charges are used in molecular dynamics force fields to compute the electrostatic interaction energy using Coulomb's law.
		Despite its usefulness, the concept of a partial atomic charge is somewhat arbitrary, because it depends on the method used to delimit between one atom and the next (in reality, atoms have no clear boundaries).

	Prader-Willi syndrome Summary
		Maternal uniparental disomy for chromosome 15 leads to PWS because the genes on the chromosome 15 that should have been inherited from the father are missing.
		PWS is caused by absence of the paternally derived PWS/AS region of chromosome 15 (15q11-13) by one of several genetic mechanisms, including uniparental disomy, imprinting mutations, chromosome translocations, and gene deletions.
		(Interestingly, a deletion on the maternal chromosome causes Angelman syndrome.) This is the first known instance of imprinting in humans, and is a fascinating model of this genetic phenomena.

	chromosome - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about chromosome
		A chromosome is a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein, carrying a set of linked genes, and (in the case of humans and most other higher organisms) paired with an identical copy.
		These are the sex chromosomes – a short, male determining one called the Y chromosome and the X chromosome.
		It is one of the smallest human chromosomes, and has been linked to a number of disorders, including schizophrenia and trisomy 22 (a common cause of miscarriage).

		Deletion refers to the loss of a segment of a chromosome.
		The deletions with an associated identifiable clinical phenotype (physical makeup of an individual) include Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (4p-), and cri-du-chat syndrome (5p-).
		Other deletions that are clinically recognizable are deletions of 18p, 18q, 22q, 21q, 15q, 11p, 17p and 4q.

	Prader-Willi syndrome (Genetic Disorder) - Medical Encyclopedia for Nursing Students
		Prader-Willi syndrome is a genetic disorder in which seven genes (or some subset thereof) on chromosome 15 are missing or unexpressed (chromosome 15q, partial deletion).
		This is caused by a misdevelopment of the hypothalamus.
		The eighth gene in the segment, whose deletion causes Angelman syndrome, is expressed only on the maternal chromosome.

		Deletions may be located at the chromosome ends or in interstitial segments of the chromosome and are usually associated with mental retardation and malformations.
		Deletions may be observed in routine chromosome preparations, but microdeletions are detectable only under the microscope with prophase chromosome studies.
		The deletion is recognized because of the absence of staining or fluorescence.

		A total of 12 chromosomal regions were researched by comparing genomic DNA samples isolated from blood and pleural effusion (using PCR, and polyacrilamid gel electrophoresis denaturizing), on 2 different chromosomes which have 9 different polymorphic determinants at 6q and 3 different polymorphic determinants at 9p using molecular genetic methods on 13 patients clinico-pathologically diagnosed MPM.
		The extent of the partial deletions was used to define 4 discrete minimal regions of nonoverlapping deletion, shortest region overlap 1, 2, 3 and 4 (SRO1, SRO2, SRO3 and SRO4).
		Although there is no common specific chromosomal alteration in MPM patients, inactivation and/or loss of TSG caused by frequent cytogenetic deletions of MPM are thought to be responsible in neoplastic development and progression of mesothelial cells [11].

		By using 36 yeast artificial chromosome and cosmid clones from a contig covering 6p22.3-6p25 and other probes with defined cytogenetic locations within 6p21-6p22 we have precisely localised the breakpoints involved in each of the cases, estimated the sizes of the deleted regions and defined the region that is hemizygously deleted in both cases.
		The 8q12.2-q21.2 deletion suggests that reduced dosage of the relevant genes is sufficient to cause Duane syndrome, BOR syndrome and this dominant form of hydrocephalus.
		To determine the parental origin of chromosomes 13 and 14 in the proband, we have studied the genotypes of DNA polymorphic markers due to (GT)n repeats in the patient and her parents' blood DNA.

	International League Against Epilepsy
		In 18 cases the epilepsy onset was constituted by myoclonic status; in the others the initial seizures are mostly partial motor seizures, more or less typical, myoclonic absences, massive myoclonias, and more rarely generalized or unilateral clonic seizures recurring in some cases only in the case of a febrile illness.
		Considering that a lot of the patients with Angelman syndrome and some of the patients with 4p-syndrome have a chromosomal deletion eliminating a cluster of GABAA receptor genes, it is possible to hypothesize that a loss of GABAergic inhibition could play a role in the pathogenesis of myoclonic status in nonprogressive encephalopathies.
		In the first group are included all the patients with chromosomal aberration; the patients in the second group are all females and affected by a nonprogressive encephalopathy of unknown etiology.

	Angelman Syndrome Foundation: Recent Publications
		In the majority of patients with a chromosome 15 imprinting defect (ID) causing Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) or Angelman syndrome (AS), the defect is a primary epimutation that occurred spontaneously in the absence of a DNA mutation.
		The acquisition of a paternal epigenotype on the maternal chromosome in the mutant mice was demonstrated by the ability to rescue the lethality and growth retardation in a mouse model of a PWS imprinting defect.
		The deletions can also be sub-classified based on their size into Class I and Class II with the former being larger.
