Is the Prader Willi Syndrome carried by males or females?
The Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder caused by a deletion on chromosome 15. In most cases, this deletion happens on the paternal copy of chromosome 15. Therefore, PWS is predominantly carried by males, since they are the ones who exclusively pass the paternal copy of chromosome 15 to their children.Genetic Disorders - Related Articles
