About This Item

Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a chromosomal disorder with symptoms that include learning difficulties, obesity and behavioral problems. PWS is a genetic condition that occurs in one in 15,000 to 20,000 live births. PWS results from disruption of chromosome 15. This leads to a disruption of a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, which controls appetite. At birth, babies are usually small and floppy, with low muscle tone, and have problems feeding. The babies are slow to get walking and these poor motor skills may persist into adult life.

After about six months to a year, especially as the child becomes mobile, they develop an interest in food that may become an insatiable obsession. Weight gain can be rapid, leading to severe obesity that results in diabetes, strain on the heart, lungs and skeleton, and even early death.

Every £1 you donate helps PWSA (UK) continue its support of 1,000 people with PWS in the UK. Your £1 could also be worth more if you tick the Gift Aid option.
