Deletion 15q 11.2

Deletion 15q 11.2

Hi I was mistakenly diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome and had 5 cycles of chemo.  That was in 2010

I just had chromosome studies done (blood) and I have been found to have del 15q 11.2 which means I have Prader Willi syndrome.  Problem is I'm 55, 5'5", overweight but not obese and test high average intelligence, I do not have behavioral issues.

I suppose this leaves me with some questions

Can you have asymptomatic Prader Willi?
Is this deletion associated with any other syndromes (I have Cu deficiency bone marrow failure)
BMB taken a year ago showed no chromosome abnormalities so could the chemo have damaged my chromosomes and caused this deletion

That's all I can think of at the moment but my brain is trying to absorb this fresh bit of news, so I'm sure I'll think of more questions later.

Regards
