Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is caused by a mutation in an autosomal gene that is maternally imprinted. If a male is affected with PWS, each of his sons has a       ["100%", "75%", "50%", "25%", "0%"]  chance of being affected with PWS, and each of his daughters has a       ["50%", "75%", "25%", "0%", "100%"]  chance of being affected with PWS.

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
