Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects 1 in 10,000 to 25,000 people. Prader-Willi Syndrome is an inherited disorder caused by a defective gene on chromosome 15. Because the disorder is so rare, most people and many doctors are unfamiliar with this syndrome and its effects. PWS is important to me because I have a cousin, Pablo, who has this disorder and I wish for the best treatments, support, and the hope for advanced treatments or even a cure in the future. I also had the opportunity to meet Daisy, a local patient who suffers from PWS and learned insightful information from her mother Denesse on real life coping with this syndrome. I have developed this website to help people who are looking for information and answers to this interesting disorder. Please look at the following video courtesy of the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association.
