Prader-Willi = Willi is a man's name so this reminds me that it is associated with paternal allele inheritance. Some use the P in Prader to remind them of paternal
Angelman's = Angel reminds me more of a woman than a man. (I think of devil when I think of man not angel). So because Angel = women I remember Maternal allele inheritance for Angleman's.
The chromosome affected in these diseases = 15(q11q13) deletion occurs
Prader-Willi = can't stop eating = obesity and diabetes, mentally slow, hypogonadism
Angelman's = Happy puppet, ataxia and inappropriate laughter, mental retardation.
