Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects many parts of the body. It is typically characterized by weak muscles, poor growth, and constant feelings of hunger, which can lead to overeating and obesity if not managed carefully. People with Prader-Willi syndrome may also have intellectual disabilities, behavioral problems, and distinctive facial features. The syndrome is caused by abnormalities in a region of chromosome 15, which can result in various physical, cognitive, and behavioral challenges. Treatment for Prader-Willi syndrome focuses on managing symptoms and providing support to address the unique needs of each individual. This may include dietary management, growth hormone therapy, behavioral therapy, and specialized education and support services.
