Abstract
Different genetic and non-genetic disorders, including several chromosomal abnormalities, may mimic Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). We report on an 11-year-old girl with features reminiscent of PWS due to an unreported de novo paracentric inversion Xq26q28. Microdeletion 15q11-q13 and maternal uniparental disomy 15 were ruled out. The importance of chromosomal studies in addition to molecular analysis on patients with features suggestive of PWS is stressed.
