Prader-Willi SyndromeObesity

Context: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder characterized by childhood-onset obesity and endocrine dysfunction that leads to cardiovascular disability and early death within the first 3 decades of life. Objectives: To assess the significance of risk factors for future disabilities, carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) was measured and correlated with known atherosclerotic risk factors in 27 children with PWS and 24 age-, sex-, and body mass index (BMI)-adjusted controls.

Characterization of Transcriptional Regulators of Ghrelin Hormone Which Causes Genetic Obesity

Prader Willi SyndromeObesity

The problem point of the Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) patient is the obesity which is intense and the plasma ghrelin level which increases unusual from the recently PWS patients was discovered. The Ghrelin is endogeneous ligand of growth hormone secretagogue receptor with peptide hormone and the location is 3p26-p25. Becomes the secretion even from nervous system but from dignity X/A cell it is secreted mainly and growth is important even in the vagal control against food and intake and a dignity function even on the action outside which promotes the secretion which drives it operates. It increases food intake specially and in order to accomplish the action which diminishes fat utilization the obesity with the week cause which it does the mortar it is thought. Active the ghrelin of the form is essential in hormonal activity of the ghrelin and appetite and growth hormone it participates to the secretion promotion which drives. Action of the Ghrelin measuring the quantitative change in middle acylated of the PWS patient ghrelin in order to happen after the acylation initially by one interest ghrelin which is attempted the appetite of the PWS patient is is controlled the method it will be able to prove the thing directly, it used the RIA kit and the ELISA it will be able to measure kit it will be able to measure the whole ghrelin to pick the PWS patient and the blood of the normal army and active ghrelin it measured a change.

This study will investigate sleep behavior in subjects with Angelman Syndrome, Rett Syndrome or Prader-Willi Syndrome. The study will also investigate sleep behavior in healthy siblings of subjects with Angelman Syndrome, Rett Syndrome or Prader-Willi Syndrome. These individuals will serve as control subjects. The study will use questionnaires designed to identify sleep disorders and how they affect behavior and quality of life. The principal goals of this study are: To see how common sleep disorders are in individuals with Angelman Syndrome, Rett Syndrome or Prader-Willi Syndrome; To see how sleep disorders affect behavior in these individuals; To see whether sleep disorders and related behavior problems improve or worsen with age; To see how specific disease conditions relate to sleep disorders and how bad the sleep disorders are; To develop new treatment options to improve quality of life and behavior issues; and To evaluate current treatment options to improve sleep problems in these individuals.

PWS Outcomes Assessment Study

Prader-Willi Syndrome

This is a longitudinal study during which qualitative interviews will be conducted with caregivers of Soleno C601/C602 study subjects. There is an additional option for caregivers to collect video data of PWS patients doing specific activities of daily life. The purpose of this study is to understand the real-world and nuanced impact of a potential therapeutic on individual PWS patients. The results of this study will complement the outcomes being captured during the Soleno C601/C602 clinical studies. There is no treatment or intervention associated with this study.
