Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUNDPrader-Willi syndrome (PWS), a neurodevelopmental disorder resulting from the loss of paternally derived but maternally imprinted genes in chromosomal region 15q11-13, is typically associated with marked hyperphagia leading to massive obesity if food intake is not controlled.
