Prader–Willi Syndrome and Hypogonadism: Comparison
View Latest Version
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Bruce Ren and Version 1 by Charlotte Höybye.

Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by intellectual disability, behavioural problems, hypothalamic dysfunction and specific dysmorphisms. Hypothalamic dysfunction causes dysregulation of energy balance and endocrine deficiencies, including hypogonadism.
