Genes affected

NPAP1 (HGNC:1190): (nuclear pore associated protein 1) This intronless retrogene is located in the Prader-Willi syndrome region on chromosome 15. This gene exhibits tissue-specific imprinting. Expression in adult testis and brain is biallelic, while expression in fetal brain is monoallelic and only from the paternal chromosome. The encoded protein is associated with the nuclear pore complex. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2021]

ENSG00000286110 (HGNC:):

PWRN1 (HGNC:33235): (Prader-Willi region non-protein coding RNA 1) This gene is located in the Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) region of chromosome 15, which is known to undergo imprinting. The transcript is believed to be non-coding. It is bi-allelically expressed in testis and kidney, but mono-allelically expressed from the paternal allele in brain. This gene is poly-adenylated and is known to undergo alternative splicing. Transcript variants may represent part of a complex imprinting center-SNURF-SNRPN transcription unit. The contribution of this gene to the PWS phenotype is unknown, but it has been suggested that it may play a role in establishing paternal imprinting in the PWS region, perhaps by maintaining the paternal allele in an open chromatin configuration.
