According to internet May is ‘Prader Willi Syndrome’ awareness month and most among us still don’t even know “what the term ‘Prader Willi Syndrome’ means”. So, the blog is written to spread some awareness regarding the rare disease.
Prader Willi Syndrome, medically abbreviated as PWS, is a very rare genetic disorder that is mostly present in a child since birth. Some un-expressed or deleted chromosomes are the two significant reasons behind this disease. The motherly genes are silenced due to marking and fatherly gene source is lost because of removal.
The most significant reason of PWS is that a person suffering from Prader Willi Syndrome doesn’t stop eating even when he is full, but some other symptoms like behavioral problems and muscle weakness should also be considered crucial while deciding whether the person is suffering from the genetic disorder or not.
Though some initial symptoms have been defined very well by the medical science, yet the rare disease is very hard to fight as only a very little information is available regarding its cure, which makes it almost impossible for doctors to support the patients and their families.
According to doctors “the disease has different symptoms including an insatiable appetite, muscle weakness and other disabilities, which can only be observed when the same intensity for each case of the Prader-Willi Syndrome is present in the patient”.
Prader Willi Syndrome, the disease which occurs between 1 in 25,000 live births, was first described by Andrea Prader and Heinrich Willi in 1956.
