Angelman syndrome (AS) and Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) are both congenital neurological disorders that cause physical and mental impairment. There are many ways to get AS and PWS, but genomic imprinting is the most common cause. AS is typically misdiagnosed as Cerebral Palsy or Autism and symptoms for AS and PWS may vary between patients. There is no cure for AS or PWS, but physical and mental therapy can help.

Prader-Willi syndrome, (PWS) is a genetic disorder that occurs in about one in every eight thousand births in the United States. PWS occurs when there is a defect or deletion in the fifteenth chromosome from either maternal or paternal origins. Individuals diagnosed with PWS need enhanced supervision to address the constant need to over eat. Current research identifies that the paternal chromosome presents with significant maladaptive behaviors. Behavioral issues commonly known to the disorder differ dependent on the origin of the parental chromosome.
