  1. The numbers and percentages of patients with chromosomal abnormalities, gene mutations, and methylation abnormalities were obtained from a questionnaire. An asterisk indicates a significant difference between ART-patients and Sp-patients (p < 0.05). For BWS, UPD, and gene indicate paternally uniparental disomy of chromosome 11 and CDKN1C, and methylation errors include both gain of methylation at H19/IGF2 IG-DMR and loss of methylation at KCNQ1OT1:TSS-DMR, respectively. For AS, UPD, gene, and methylation error indicate paternally uniparental disomy of chromosome 15, UBE3A and loss of methylation at SNRPN-DMR, respectively. For PWS, UPD, and methylation error indicate maternally uniparental disomy of chromosome 15 and gain of methylation at SNRPN-DMR, respectively. For SRS, UPD, and methylation error indicate maternally uniparental disomy of chromosome 7 and loss of methylation at H19/IGF2 IG-DMR, respectively. UPD uniparental disomy
