Reet....i am confused...could you may be rephrase the question?From what i know prader willi syndrome is due to a deletion in the paternal chromosome 15...while angel man syndrome is the result of a deletion in the maternal chr 15.

methylation patterns detected by southern blot or by PCR using DNA primers that can detect methyalted cytosine... to diagnose if it's due to uniparental disomy, u use markers from both chr 15 of both parents and detect presence in the patient FISH if deletion of 15q suspected
