title: Neuroendocrine protein 7B2 in Prader-Willi syndrome.
abstract: 7B2 is a neuroendocrine polypeptide of unknown function, the gene for which is sited near or within the chromosomal region deleted in Prader-Willi syndrome and Angelman's syndrome. Plasma immunoreactive 7B2 levels were measured in 26 individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome, and appropriate controls. Plasma 7B2 levels were within normal limits compared to the control groups, in adults with Prader-Willi syndrome. 7B2 levels in children with Prader-Willi syndrome were higher, this age-dependent variation having been previously reported in normal children.
