Prader-willi syndrome occurs due to genetic mutation, it is believed that parents with a genetic abnormality, uneffected by the syndrome, pass the mutation to their children. Some studies suggest that the syndrome is due to missing genes in the paternal chromosome, but it may be a combination of both parents.

How is inheritance syndrome inherited?

Inheritance syndrome is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that a mutation in one copy of the affected gene is enough to cause the syndrome. This means that an affected individual has a 50% chance of passing the syndrome on to their offspring. Rarely, inheritance syndrome can also be inherited in an autosomal recessive or X-linked pattern.
