Genetic errors on this chromosome cause Angelman syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome, both of which share behavioral symptoms with autism. Cytogenetic errors on chromosome 15 occur9 in up to 4 percent of patients with autism.
For instance, two different disorders - Prader-Willi syndrome and Angelman syndrome -- are due to deletion of the same part of chromosome 15.
