| Usage: |
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder caused by the loss of function of specific genes on the proximal arm of chromosome 15. Most cases (99%) are caused by the absence of a paternal contribution to the imprinted region on chromosome 15q11-q13; approximately 70% of these are due to a large 5-7 Mb deletion. These patients are constantly hungry (hyperphagia) & become obese. They have behavioral, cognitive & sleep impairment and underdeveloped sex organs. |
