Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and Angelman syndrome (AS) are genetic imprinting disorders resulting from absent or reduced expression of paternal or maternal genes in chromosome 15q11q13 region, respectively. The most common etiology is deletion of the maternal or paternal 15q11q13 region. Methylation is the first line for molecular diagnostic testing; MS-MLPA is the most sensitive test. The molecular subtype of PWS/AS provides more accurate recurrence risk information for parents and for the individual affected with the condition. Management should include a multidisciplinary team by various medical subspecialists and therapists. Developmental and behavioral management of PWS and AS in infancy and early childhood includes early intervention services and individualized education programs for school-aged children. Here, we compare and discuss the mechanisms, pathophysiology, clinical features, and management of the two imprinting disorders, PWS and AS.
