41. Prader-Willi Syndrome
    praderwilli syndrome. Definition. prader-willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic condition caused by the absence of chromosomal material from chromosome 15.  
    http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/prader-willi_syndrome.html
    
    Extractions: Definition Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic condition caused by the absence of chromosomal material from chromosome 15. The genetic basis of PWS is complex. Characteristics of the syndrome include developmental delay, poor muscle tone, short stature, small hands and feet, incomplete sexual development, and unique facial features. Insatiable appetite is a classic feature of PWS. This uncontrollable appetite can lead to health problems and behavior disturbances. Description The first patients with features of PWS were described by Dr. Prader, Dr. Willi, and Dr. Lambert in 1956. Since that time, the complex genetic basis of PWS has begun to be understood. Initially, scientists found that individuals with PWS have a portion of genetic material deleted (erased) from chromosome 15. In order to have PWS, the genetic material must be deleted from the chromosome 15 received from one's father. If the deletion is on the chromosome 15 inherited from one's mother a different syndrome develops. This was an important discovery. It demonstrated for the first time that the genes inherited from one's mother can be expressed differently than the genes inherited from one's father. Over time, scientists realized that some individuals with PWS do not have genetic material deleted from chromosome 15. Further studies found that these patients inherit both copies of chromosome 15 from their mother. This is not typical. Normally, an individual receives one chromosome 15 from their father and one chromosome 15 from their mother. When a person receives both chromosomes from the same parent it is called " "uniparental disomy"." When a person receives both chromosomes from his or her mother it is called "maternal uniparental disomy."

    Extractions: helpful? yes no Prader-Willi: cryptorchidism- shortness of stature- obesity- subnormal mentality; Prader-Willi Labhart Prader-Willi syndrome is characterised by two phases. Under 6 months, hypotonia , sleepiness and feeding difficulties are usually present. Thereafter, hypotonia becomes less, feeding difficulties stop and hyperphagia (over eating) begins, usually between the ages of 2 and 4. Other features, which are variable, include: short stature; cryptorchidism (undescended testicles and under development of genital organs); strabismus (squint); almond-shaped eyes; very small hands and feet; developmental delay in walking and speech; skin picking; scoliosis; diabetes; sleepiness; sleep apnoea; mild to moderate learning difficulties; behavioural problems. Inheritance patterns Prader-Willi syndrome is usually sporadic and, in approximately 70 per cent of cases, due to a deletion affecting chromosome 15 of paternal origin. These deletions differ in size and can be so small that they can only be detected by molecular genetic techniques. Rarely, it will arise as a result of a chromosomal translocation which may theoretically lead to recurrence. Alternatively, Prader-Willi syndrome can occur if both copies of chromosome 15 are maternal in origin (maternal disomy) rather than one copy from the mother and one from the father. Genetic testing is now undertaken using DNA rather than direct examination of the chromosomes and may require blood samples from parents.

    Extractions: Print friendly Tell a friend Find subscription deals by Julia Barrett Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is caused by a rare birth defect centered on chromosome 15. Characteristics of the syndrome include developmental delays and mental retardation, behavioral problems, and insatiable appetite leading to obesity. Affected individuals also experience incomplete sexual development, poor muscle tone, and short stature as adults. PWS occurs in 1 in 12,000 to 15,000 births and is regarded as the most common genetic cause of obesity. It affects both genders and all races. Although PWS arises from a genetic defect, it is not an inherited conditionit is a birth defect. The defect occurs spontaneously and specifically involves chromosome 15. A person normally inherits one copy of chromosome 15 from each parent. In PWS cases, the copy from the father either lacks a specific segment of DNA (70-75% of cases) or is missing altogether (25-30% of cases). If the father's chromosome 15 is absent, a person with PWS has two copies of the mother's chromosome 15. Although the individual has the proper number of chromosomes, inheriting two copies of a chromosome from one parent is an abnormal situation called uniparental disomy. If that parent is the mother, it is called maternal uniparental disomy.

    Extractions: Prader-Willi syndrome is a congenital problem that affects one in every ten to fifteen thousand children. It includes the following characteristics: People who have Prader-Willi syndrome will lie, cheat, and steal to get food. If their access to food is not controlled, they will gorge until they become so obese that they die. They do not vomit or purge in other ways as bulimics do. Paradoxically, Prader-Willi babies are usually thin and weak. They eat very poorly. When they do begin to eat, however, they do not stop. Sometimes Prader-Willi is mistakenly thought to be bulimia. Bulimia is a psychosomatic disorder. The person tries to solve problems and improve self-esteem by losing weight. The unhealthy weight loss behaviors hurt the body. Prader-Willi, on the other hand, is the result of a genetic defect. The person shows little concern about body image and gorges because the physiological brakes that control appetite and hunger are defective. Researchers have not yet discovered what causes the genetic defect that leads to Prader-Willi. It does not seem to run in families. It involves some sort of malfunctioning in the hypothalamus, a major control center in the brain.

    Extractions: Internet: http://ericec.org What information do you have on Prader-Willi Syndrome ? The following information is from the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association: Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is an uncommon, noninherited birth defect, lifelong and life-threatening, affecting all races and both sexes. Prevalence is estimated to be 1:12,000 to 15,000. Its characteristics include hypotonia, insatiable appetite, obesity if food intake is uncontrolled, hypogonadism and incomplete sexual development, developmental delays, variable degrees of mental retardation or functional retardation, short stature (adult), small hands and feet, mild dysmorphology, and behavior problems which can be severe. The cause of this condition is unclear. Approximately 70% have an interstitial deletion or other abnormal finding on chromosome 15, using high resolution (prometaphase) analysis. The remainder have two maternal chromosome 15s and no paternal 15 (maternal uniparental disomy). Diagnosis of infants with PWS is difficult. Newborns are hypotonic, lethargic, exhibit genital hypoplasia, and often require gavage or other special feeding techniques. Prenatally, fetal movement is decreased. Diagnosis in adults is more certain if classic characteristics are present: short stature, small hands and feet, CNS dysfunction, underdeveloped sexual characteristics, poor large muscle strength.
