Abstract		We describe a 17-year-old girl with mild Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) due to 15q11-q13 deletion. The deletion occurred on a paternal chromosome 15 already involved in a translocation, t(Y;15)(q12;p11), the latter being present in five other, phenotypically normal individuals in three generations. This appears to be the first case of PWS in which the causative 15q11-q13 deletion occurred on a chromosome involved in a familial translocation, but with breakpoints considerably distal to those of the familial rearrangement. The translocation could predispose to additional rearrangements occurring during meiosis and/or mitosis or, alternatively, the association of two cytogenetic anomalies on the same chromosome could be fortuitous.
