Abstract
Three children with Prader-Willi syndrome and chromosome abnormalities affecting chromosome 15 are described and the literature is reviewed. The usefulness of chromosome analysis in the investigation of the floppy infant is illustrated by 2 of the cases described. Other children (23) with similar clinical features had normal chromosomes.Keywords
