Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is not classified as a recessive or sex-linked condition; instead, it is primarily caused by the loss of function of genes on the paternal chromosome 15 due to deletion, uniparental disomy, or imprinting defects. The genetic mechanisms involved are complex and typically arise from errors during the formation of sperm or egg cells. Therefore, PWS is considered a genetic disorder with specific chromosomal abnormalities rather than a simple Mendelian inheritance pattern.
