According to Wikipeda, the incidence of Prader-Willi Syndrome is between 1 in 10,000 and 1 in 25,000 live births .

There are no guidelines for preventing Prader-Willi syndrome. Prader-Willi Syndrome is a result of a genetic "error" that occurs at conception therefore there is nothing that can be done to prevent it. Liken it to not being able to prevent hair color or eye color....two things that occur as a result of DNA at conception.
Prader-Willi Syndrome
According to the research I've done, Prader-Willi Syndrome is rarely a result of translocation, but it is a possibility. Translocation in this syndrome results in an inactivation of genes on the paternal chromosome 15.
Chromosome 15q partial deletion is the name for this syndrome.
