Chi-squared and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to test for differences in specific and grouped clinical symptoms based on parental inheritance and proband gender. Analyses controlled for sibling sets and individuals with additional variants of uncertain significance (VOUS). Among all probands, maternal deletions were associated with macrocephaly (p = 0.016) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD; p = 0.02), while paternal deletions were associated with congenital heart disease (CHD; p = 0.004). Excluding sibling sets, maternal deletions were associated with epilepsy as well as macrocephaly (p &lt; 0.05), while paternal deletions were associated with CHD and abnormal muscular phenotypes (p &lt; 0.05). Excluding sibling sets and probands with an additional VOUS, maternal deletions were associated with epilepsy (p = 0.019) and paternal deletions associated with muscular phenotypes (p = 0.008). Significant gender-based differences were also observed. Our results supported POEs of this deletion and included macrocephaly, epilepsy and ASD in maternal deletions with CHD and abnormal muscular phenotypes seen in paternal deletions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms20061459","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,25]],"date-time":"2019-03-25T06:56:52Z","timestamp":1553497012000},"page":"1459","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Parent-of-Origin Effects in 15q11.2 BP1-BP2 Microdeletion (Burnside-Butler) Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1874-9741","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyle W.","family":"Davis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lineagen, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT 84109, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moises","family":"Serrano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lineagen, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT 84109, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8837-3519","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Loddo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Medical Genetics, Bambino Ges\u00f9 Children\u2019s Hospital, IRCCS, Rome 00165, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Robinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lineagen, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT 84109, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Viola","family":"Alesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Medical Genetics, Bambino Ges\u00f9 Children\u2019s Hospital, IRCCS, Rome 00165, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Dallapiccola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Medical Genetics, Bambino Ges\u00f9 Children\u2019s Hospital, IRCCS, Rome 00165, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Novelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Medical Genetics, Bambino Ges\u00f9 Children\u2019s Hospital, IRCCS, Rome 00165, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2911-0524","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Merlin G.","family":"Butler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Psychiatry &amp; Behavioral Sciences and Pediatrics, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS 66160, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"568","DOI":"10.1111\/jir.12382","article-title":"Clinical and genetic aspects of the 15q11.2 BP1-BP2 microdeletion disorder","volume":"61","author":"Butler","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
