Prader-Willi syndrome Prader-Willi syndrome is a disease that is present from birth (congenital). It affects many parts of the body. People with this condition feel hungry all the time and become obese. They also have poor muscle tone, reduced mental ability, and underdeveloped sex organs. Causes Prader-Willi syndrome is caused by a missing gene on chromosome 15. Normally, parents each pass down a copy of this chromosome. The defect can occur in a couple of ways: The father's genes are missing on chromosome 15 There are defects or problems with the father’s genes on chromosome 15 There are two copies of the mother's chromosome 15 and none from the father; These genetic changes occur randomly. Persons who have this syndrome usually do not have a family history of the condition. Symptoms Signs of Prader-Willi syndrome may be seen at birth.

What is Prader-Willi syndrome? PWS is recognized as the most common genetic cause of life-threatening childhood obesity. PWS was first described by Swiss doctors Andrea Prader, Alexis Labhart, and Heinrich Willi in 1956 based on the clinical characteristics of nine children they examined.WS is caused by a lack of active genetic material in a particular region of chromosome 15 (15q11-q13). Normally, individuals inherit one copy of chromosome 15 from their mother and one from their father.
