Medical, psychological and social features in a large cohort of adults with <scp>P</scp>rader–<scp>W</scp>illi syndrome: experience from a dedicated centre in France

Abstract

Adult patients with PWS showed high prevalence of comorbid health problems that need to be monitored for early treatment. Some of them are influenced by genotype and age. Another salient problem concerns the lack of adapted structures for better social integration. Further data about the real life and health conditions of adults with PWS are necessary to further our knowledge of the natural history of the disease and to design appropriate care strategies.
