Prader-Willi syndrome is caused by
genetic errors on chromosome 15
Symptoms of PWS include neonatal hypotonia followed
by hyperphagia and excessive weight gain that begins
around 5-8 years of age and lasts until death
Hyperphagia leads to severe obesity, metabolic disorder,
and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality
Intellectual disability and developmental delay and
psychiatric disorders are also common
The average age of death is approximately 30 years
The estimated prevalence of PWS is 40,000 patients in
the US and EU
