Futureproof Extra: Prader-Willi Syndrome
About this episode
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder that occurs in approximately one out of every 15,000 births.
It affects males and females with equal frequency and affects all races and ethnicities and is recognized as one of the most common genetic causes of life-threatening childhood obesity.
To discuss this disorder and what can be done to help people living with it, Jonathan is joined now by Dr. Tony Holland, Professor Emeritus at the University of Cambridge, UK & President of the International Prader-Willi Syndrome Organisation.
