The microdeletion syndrome caused by a deletion at 15q11.2 depends on if the deletion is on the chromosome 15 inherited from the baby’s mother or father. If the deletion is on the 15 inherited from the baby’s father, the baby has Prader-Willi syndrome.

If the deletion is on the 15 inherited from the baby’s mother, the baby has Angelman syndrome. Both Angelman syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome can be due to other types of chromosomal changes, not just a 15q11.2 deletion.
