Prader-Willi Syndrome
Prader-Willi syndrome is a neurogenetic disorder characterized by hypotonia and feeding difficulties in infancy, followed by hyperphagia, hypogonadism, mental retardation, and short stature. It was the first recognized microdeletion syndrome identified with high-resolution chromosome analysis, the first recognized human genomic imprinting disorder, and the first recognized disorder resulting fr...
متن کاملPrader-Willi syndrome.
Prader-Willi syndrome is a multi system disorder characterized by neonatal hypotonia, later obesity, hyperphagia and mental retardation. It occurs sporadically, either as a result of microdeletion of chromosome 15p (70%) or as a result of maternal disomy of chromosome 15 (30%). The major problems encountered by parents are those of hyperphagia, food-seeking and obesity, and conduct disorder, pa...
متن کاملPrader-willi Syndrome
Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder due to loss of function of specific genes on chromosome 15. It occurs in males and females, no matter what race. As an infant, PWS shows itself in weak muscle tone (hypotonia, Pic. 1), feeding difficulties, poor growth, and delayed development. In the beginning during childhood, characterizes itself by having the kids develop an insatiable appet...
متن کاملPrader-Willi syndrome and psychoses.
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is associated with an insatiable appetite and (often) other maladaptive behaviours (self-injury, sleep disorders, insistence on routines, and temper tantrums). Psychoses are not a recognised feature. Most affected people have a chromosome 15 abnormality (deletion, disomy, structural rearrangement, etc.). Three people with PWS who developed psychotic disorders in earl...
متن کاملPrader-Willi Syndrome: Clinical Aspects
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a complex multisystem genetic disorder that shows great variability, with changing clinical features during a patient's life. The syndrome is due to the loss of expression of several genes encoded on the proximal long arm of chromosome 15 (15q11.2-q13). The complex phenotype is most probably caused by a hypothalamic dysfunction that is responsible for hormonal dys...
