Prader-Willi Syndrome - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Name	Views and Comments	Date
B	I work at Latham Centers, it is the leading facility in the world with research of Prader-Willi Syndrome, and I would like to offer some corrections. Children that are born with PWS are not born obese, they are in fact underweight. This is why we did not know what this disorder was until recently; the babies born with this illness were not alive long enough for us to learn about them. They were "failure to thrive" children; they barely move or cry. They would die if it weren't for medical interventions. We also do not know if they constantly feel hungry, or if they are just never satisfied. Children with PWS will go on hunger strikes if they want to; suggesting that they are never satisfied but not hungry. Other than that, you accurately portrayed the disorder. Thank you for spreading awareness!	12/8/2010
