Activity Description

Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare and complex genetic disorder that impacts the metabolic, endocrine, and neurologic systems. The syndrome manifests with severe hypotonia and feeding difficulties during the early years of life, leading to global developmental delays. Patients with Prader-Willi syndrome often exhibit behavioral and intellectual challenges. The syndrome is characterized by recognizable facial features, strabismus (crossed eyes), and musculoskeletal abnormalities. Diagnosis, evaluation, and management involve an interprofessional clinical team to address the multifaceted aspects of PWS and improve patient care.

The CME activity emphasizes an interprofessional clinical team approach to address the multifaceted aspects of Prader-Willi syndrome effectively. Clinicians will gain insight into the unique challenges presented by patients with PWS, including hyperphagia, a distinct desire to eat that contributes to obesity onset by age 3. Participants can expect to enhance their ability to recognize and manage the disorder comprehensively, ultimately improving the care provided to individuals affected by Prader-Willi syndrome.
