Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder caused by the lack of expression of genes on the paternally inherited chromosome region 15q11.2-q13. It is a multisystem disorder that is characterized by severe hypotonia with poor suck and feeding difficulties in early infancy, followed in early childhood by excessive eating and gradual development of morbid obesity.
