The disease/injury/diagnosis HTML-version: 2.0 English index Search The aphabetical list This is an excerpt from the database of the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare on rare diseases. The concept of "rare diseases" is defined as: "Disorders resulting in extensive disability whick affect no more than 100 individuals in one million inhabitants". The ambition underlying the database is to provide information to the public, including patients and their families, as well as to health professionals. Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) was described for the first time in 1956. The syndrome was named after the group of Swiss paediatricians who first identified a number of patients with a combination of excessive body weight, mental retardation, short stature, low production of sexual hormones (hypogonadism) and low muscle tone at birth (hypotonia).

It is estimated that PWS occurs in 1 in 10,000 births. It affects both sexes and its unrelated to race. It's cause, is as yet, unknown. PWSA-New England Chapter was formed in 1983.

    Extractions: by Merlin G. Butler, MD, PhD, FACMG Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) includes a collection of signs or symptoms characterized by hypotonia in infancy, obesity in early childhood, mental retardation, small hands and feet, underdevelopment of the sex organs, and a particular facial appearance. Prader-Willi syndrome is due to a chromosome 15 abnormality, usually a deletion on chromosome number 15 involving the long arm. The deletion includes several dozen genes. Interestingly, those individuals who have PWS as a result of the deletion of part of chromosome 15 inherit that deletion from their fathers. Other people with Prader-Willi syndrome have maternal uniparental disomy in which both chromosome 15s come from the mother. A small percentage of individuals have an imprinting mutation of genetic material or DNA from chromosome 15 that controls the activity or expression of genes. In the majority of PWS families the recurrence risk is low (less than 1 percent), but in rare instances a father may carry an imprinting mutation and have a higher risk (possibly 50 percent) of passing on the mutation to a child with PWS. We recommend that families with PWS consult a medical geneticist to assess their risk for other children with PWS.

    Extractions: Background The human Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) domain and its mouse orthologue include a cluster of paternally expressed genes which imprinted expression is co-ordinately regulated by an imprinting center (IC) closely associated to the Snurf Snrpn gene. Besides their co-regulated imprinted expression, two observations suggest that the spatio-temporal expression of these genes could also be co-regulated. First, the PWS genes have all been reported to be expressed in the mouse nervous system. Second

    Extractions: More on Prader-Willi Syndrome Prader-Willi Syndrome occurs when there is a problem with an individual's two chromosome 15s. In most cases, critical genes are missing from the chromosome that was supplied by the father. In the remaining cases, the entire chromosome from the father is missing and there are instead two chromosome 15s from the mother. The critical paternal genes lacking in people with PWS help the regulation of appetite. In addition to their involuntary focus on food, people with PWS tend to have obsessive and/or compulsive behaviors that are not related to food, such as repetitive thoughts and statements, collecting and hoarding possessions, picking at skin irritations and a strong need for routine and predictability. Frustration or changes in plans can easily set off a loss of emotional control, ranging from tears to temper tantrums to physical aggression. Medications can help some individuals, and almost all individuals with PWS can benefit from careful structuring of their environment.

    http://www.whcenter.org/15160.cfm
    
    Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Prader-Willi is caused by the deletion of a gene on chromosome 15. The majority of patients have a deletion of the father's DNA in this region. The remaining patients frequently have two copies of the mother's chromosome 15. The maternal copy of this gene is turned off in all people. When there is a deletion of the father's DNA (approximately 70% of patients), the disease occurs. This is because the patient is left with only the inactive, maternal copy. Signs of Prader-Willi may be seen at birth. New infants with the condition are often small and very floppy (hypotonic). Male infants may have undescended testicles. The growing child exhibits slow mental and delayed motor development, increasing obesity, and characteristically small hands and feet. Rapid weight gain may occur during the first few years because the patient develops uncontrollable hunger which leads to morbid obesity.

Individuals with the diagnosis of Prader-Willi syndrome present a challenge to vocational rehabilitation programs. Dykens et al. (1997) note that the supervision necessary to assist individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome in maintaining a quality lifestyle and preventing a premature death may be in conflict with the philosophical and ethical standards that promote consumer independence, choice making, and personal responsibility. To be vocationally successful, and to avoid the life threatening complications associated with morbid obesity, persons with the diagnosis of Prader-Willi benefit from vocational services that recognize the strong genetic component of behaviors characteristic of the syndrome (Saporito, 1995). These behavioral characteristics may limit the consumer's vocational choices. Many of these behaviors that have an organic basis are not easily modified by typical environmental supports or therapeutic interventions.

     Extractions: Providing integrated medical and behavioral crisis intervention to persons with Prader-Willi Syndrome Our inpatient hospital program for both children and adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome is the only one of its kind in the country. Since 1981, more than 800 children and adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome from the United States and Canada have benefited from this program. The Institute Provides: These types of crises usually overlap and often occur simultaneously in persons with PWS making treatment in a less specialized setting difficult or impossible. (General pediatric or adult psychiatric units, medical units, medical ICUs, PICUs, ICFMRs, nursing homes etc. are not prepared to address the complex needs of patients with PWS.)
