Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is the most common known genetic cause of life-threatening obesity in children. Although the cause is complex, it results from an abnormality on the 15th chromosome. It occurrs in males and females equally and in all races. Prevalence estimates have ranged from 1:8,000 to 1:25,000 with the most likely figure being 1:15,000.
PWS has been historically known as a two stage syndrome, with the first stage characterized by hypotonia (low muscle tone) and poor feeding in infancy, and the second stage exhibiting hyperphagia (an uncontrollable drive to eat), combined with weight gain on fewer calories. Current research through an extensive natural history study has shown that PWS is not just a two stage but a multiphase syndrome.
Other typical characteristics of Prader-Willi syndrome include low muscle tone, motor development delays, short stature (if not treated with growth hormone), and incomplete sexual development. The average IQ is 70, but even those with normal IQ’s almost always have learning difficulties or differences. Children with PWS can be sweet and loving, but they display characteristics of the Prader-Willi personality that can cause social and behavioral problems. They also have many complex and unique medical issues.
With the help of PWSA_USA and our local chapter we are raising awareness to provide families and individuals affected with PWS with the resources they may need to help lessen the burden of the syndrome. There is lots of research going on and with your help we will be able to help individuals with PWS live longer healthy happier lives.

Taylor Grossman has enjoyed creating art since he was a child. He never lost his sense of awe at people’s creativity and ability to make unique expressive pieces of art in all forms. This wonderment has always kept him driven to keep creating and learning new styles, forms, and mediums from when he was a child drawing, to college studying interdisciplinary film and digital media, to now having a full time job as a photographer and part time painter. Taylor loves sharing his knowledge and skills with people for the simple pleasure of seeing them discover their own artistic abilities, and having their own art adventures.
