MedlinePlus: Prader-willi syndrome (pws) is an uncommon genetic disorder. it causes poor muscle tone, low levels of sex hormones and a constant feeling of hunger. the part of the brain that controls feelings of fullness or hunger does not work properly in people with pws. they overeat, leading to obesity.
babies with pws are usually floppy, with poor muscle tone, and have trouble sucking. boys may have undescended testicles. later, other signs appear. these include
short stature
poor motor skills
weight gain
underdeveloped sex organs
mild mental retardation and learning disabilities
there is no cure for pws. growth hormone and exercise can help build muscle mass and control weight.

MalaCards: Prader-willi Syndrome, also known as PWS, is related to leptin deficiency and obesity. An important gene associated with Prader-willi Syndrome is IPW (imprinted in Prader-Willi syndrome (non-protein coding)), and among its related pathways are G alpha (q) signalling events and Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction. The compounds oxyntomodulin and c-peptide have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include whole blood, brain and testis, and related mouse phenotypes are adipose tissue and endocrine/exocrine gland. NIH Rare Diseases: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex genetic condition that affects many parts of the body. At birth, babies with PWS have poor muscle tone and a weak cry. Initially, they are slow feeders and appear undernourished. The feeding problems improve after infancy and often between 2 to 4 years of age, children with PWS become very focused on food and have difficulty controlling their appetite. The overeating often results in rapid weight gain and obesity. Individuals with PWS also often have developmental delays and less-than-average adult height. PSW is caused by missing or non-working genes on chromosome 15. Most cases are not inherited, but occur randomly.30 Genetics Home Reference: Prader-Willi syndrome is a complex genetic condition that affects many parts of the body. In infancy, this condition is characterized by weak muscle tone (hypotonia), feeding difficulties, poor growth, and delayed development. Beginning in childhood, affected individuals develop an insatiable appetite, which leads to chronic overeating (hyperphagia) and obesity. Some people with Prader-Willi syndrome, particularly those with obesity, also develop type 2 diabetes mellitus (the most common form of diabetes).17 Wikipedia: Prader–Willi syndrome (pron.: /ˈprɑːdər ˈvɪli/; abbreviated PWS) is a rare genetic disorder in...44 more...
