Prader-Willi Syndrome
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder caused by the loss of function of specific genes on chromosome 15. It is characterized by a range of physical, mental, and behavioral challenges. Individuals with PWS often experience weak muscle tone, delayed development, and distinctive facial features.
One of the most notable symptoms of PWS is an insatiable appetite, leading to obesity if not managed carefully. People with this syndrome may also face learning difficulties and emotional issues. Early intervention and a structured environment can help improve their quality of life and overall well-being.
