Diabetic retinopathy in an adolescent with Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome.
The Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome is characterized by perinatal muscular hypotonia, short stature, mental retardation, hypogonadism (cryptorchidism in males), and severe, progressive obesity. Another feature of this syndrome is the development of glucose intolerance, followed by overt juvenile diabetes mellitus of the maturity onset type (Illig, Ischymi, and Vischer, 1974). Esotropia and amblyo...
متن کاملClinical effects of treatment for hypogonadism in male adolescents with Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome.
BACKGROUND In boys with Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome (PWS), hypogonadism causes pubertal arrest and reduces pubertal muscle growth. Formerly, it was assumed that therapy with gonadal hormones accentuates behaviour abnormalities in PWS. Our aim was to assess the clinical effects of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) therapy on pubertal development, muscle mass and behaviour in adolescents with ...
متن کاملAn anthropometric study of 38 individuals with Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome.
Weight, height, sitting height, and 24 other anthropometric variables (5 body circumferences, skinfolds at 7 sites, 4 head dimensions, and 8 hand and foot measurements) were obtained on 38 Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome (PLWS) individuals (21 with apparent chromosome 15 deletions and 17 nondeletion cases) with an age range of 2 weeks to 38 1/2 years. More than half of these individuals were meas...
متن کاملPrader-Willi Syndrome
Prader-Willi syndrome is a neurogenetic disorder characterized by hypotonia and feeding difficulties in infancy, followed by hyperphagia, hypogonadism, mental retardation, and short stature. It was the first recognized microdeletion syndrome identified with high-resolution chromosome analysis, the first recognized human genomic imprinting disorder, and the first recognized disorder resulting fr...
متن کاملPrader-Willi syndrome.
Prader-Willi syndrome is a multi system disorder characterized by neonatal hypotonia, later obesity, hyperphagia and mental retardation. It occurs sporadically, either as a result of microdeletion of chromosome 15p (70%) or as a result of maternal disomy of chromosome 15 (30%). The major problems encountered by parents are those of hyperphagia, food-seeking and obesity, and conduct disorder, pa...
