What is Prader-Willi Syndrome?

Prader Willi Syndrome is a complex genetic disorder affecting appetite, growth, metabolism, cognitive function and behaviour.  It is typically characterised by low muscle tone, short stature (when not treated with growth hormone), incomplete sexual development, cognitive disabilities, behavioural problems, and the hallmark characteristics – chronic feelings of insatiable hunger and a slowed metabolism that can lead to excessive eating and life-threatening obesity.  Those who have PWS need intervention and strict external controls, sometimes including padlocking access to food, to maintain normal weight and to help save their lives.
