Living with Prader Willi …….
People with this disorder can literally eat themselves to death because they never feel full
![Page 16: A Syndromiccause for Hypotonia - CPA Chennai](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fc859d8d33c02b785e2615/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Genetics in Prader Willi Syndrome
• Complex multisystem genetic disorder
• Lack of expression of paternally inherited imprinted genes
• 15q 11-q13
![Page 17: A Syndromiccause for Hypotonia - CPA Chennai](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fc859d8d33c02b785e2615/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Important genes in 15q11-13
• NDN-NECDIN:candidate gene
• MAGEL2 (Melanoma antigen like gene)
• SNURF-SNRPN
• MRFP
• PAR 5
• PAR 7
• OCA 2
![Page 18: A Syndromiccause for Hypotonia - CPA Chennai](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fc859d8d33c02b785e2615/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Genomic Imprinting
• Expression of a gene from only one parent's chromosome
• Silencing of the genes from the other parent's chromosome.
• In Prader Willi region
• Paternal region is active
• Maternal inactive
![Page 19: A Syndromiccause for Hypotonia - CPA Chennai](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fc859d8d33c02b785e2615/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Three genetics mechanisms in Prader WilliSyndrome
1. Paternal deletion 70%
2. Maternal uniparentaldisomy-25%
3. Imprinting defect <5%
![Page 21: A Syndromiccause for Hypotonia - CPA Chennai](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fc859d8d33c02b785e2615/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Deletion
• Constitutes 70% cases
• Etiology Unknown
• <1% chance of recurrence
![Page 22: A Syndromiccause for Hypotonia - CPA Chennai](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fc859d8d33c02b785e2615/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Uniparental disomy : <1%recurrence
![Page 23: A Syndromiccause for Hypotonia - CPA Chennai](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fc859d8d33c02b785e2615/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Imprinting defects
• Two Mechanism
• Deletions in imprinting centre
• Epigenetic mutation
• Can be identified by methylation studies
• Risk of recurrence - 50%
![Page 24: A Syndromiccause for Hypotonia - CPA Chennai](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fc859d8d33c02b785e2615/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Genetic tests in Prader Willi Syndrome
• High resolution chromosomal analysis
• FISH
• DNA methylation studies
• DNA polymorphism studies- UPD

Follow up- Multidisciplinary Team
Dietician
• Most important role
• Dietary restrictions

Family support
• Support & understanding
• Restrictions on food
• Lock food, kitchen cupboards
• Encourage exercises
![Page 29: A Syndromiccause for Hypotonia - CPA Chennai](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020706/61fc859d8d33c02b785e2615/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Take Home Message
• Suspect Prader Willi Syndrome
(Neonatal hypotonia,Hypogonadism,Dysmorphism)
• Confirm Prader Willi Syndrome
• FISH
• DNA methylation studies
• DNA polymorphism studies- UPD
• Genetic diagnosis takes time in some cases and
Periodic follow up with revaluation will definitely help
