Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction with severe hypotonia, feeding deficits during neonatal period, then excessive weight gain with hyperphagia, risk of severe obesity in child-/adulthood, learning difficulties, deficits of social skills, behavioral or severe psychiatric problems

Diminished fetal activity, obesity, muscular hypotonia, mental retardation, short stature, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, small hands + feet

~70% PWS patients have deletion 15q11.2-q13

1% PWS patients chromosomal rearrangement with deletion in 15q11.2-q13

<1% PWS patients chromosomal rearrangements breaking in 15q11.2-q13
