Abstract

Difficulties of differential diagnosis between Prader-Willi Syndrome and Cohen Syndrome are demonstrated in a 12-year-old girl with obesity and mental retardation. Cytogenetic studies showed an apparently supernumerary band on chromosome 15 in the proximal region q11-13. Both parents have a normal karyotype. The aberrant chromosome was derived from an apparently normal paternal chromosome.
