Descriptions

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) risk refers to the fetus's risk of being affected by PWS. The risk for the fetus can be derived from the general population risk as well as prenatal genetic testing of fetal DNA. PWS is caused by the functional loss of several genes on chromosome 15. Normally, only the paternal copy of these genes is active due to genomic imprinting, and in PWS, the paternal copy of these genes is missing. The genetic basis for PWS is the inverse of the basis for Angelman syndrome, in which the maternal copy of a specific gene on chromosome 15 is missing. About 70% of PWS cases are due to the deletion of a portion of the paternal chromosome 15, and another 25% are due to the presence of two maternal chromosome 15 copies (called uniparental disomy, meaning two copies from one parent) instead of one maternal and one paternal.
PWS is associated with different characteristics over time. Infants with PWS have poor growth, developmental delay, and weak muscle tone. Children with PWS develop a compulsion to eat, which leads to obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. PWS is associated with mild to moderate cognitive delay, behavior problems, characteristic facial features, and delayed puberty. The general population risk of PWS is about 1 in 10,000 - 30,000 live births, and does not change with maternal age.
