Detailed analysis of 15q11-q14 sequence corrects errors and gaps in the public access sequence to fully reveal large segmental duplications at breakpoints for Prader-Willi, Angelman, and inv dup(15) syndromes

摘要

A detailed segmental map of the 15q11-q14 region of the human genome reveals two pairs of large direct repeats in regions associated with Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes and other repeats that may increase susceptibility to other disorders.
