Prader-Willi syndrome is a complex genetic condition that affects many parts of the body. In infancy, this condition is characterized by weak muscle tone, feeding difficulties, poor growth, and delayed development. Beginning in childhood, affected individuals develop an insatiable appetite, which leads to chronic overeating and obesity. Some people with Prader-Willi syndrome, particularly those with obesity, also develop type 2 diabetes mellitus.Prader-Willi syndrome is caused by the loss of function of genes in a particular region of chromosome 15. People normally inherit one copy of this chromosome from each parent.
The Journal of Genetic Syndromes and Gene Therapy is an academic journal – hosted by
OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in genomics. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Genetic Syndromes and Gene Therapy provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of genomics and gene therapy, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.
