Background:

  • Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by developmental delays, intellectual disability, and behavioral issues.
  • Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine complication observed in individuals with PWS, affecting metabolic regulation.
  • Cytogenetic abnormalities, particularly deletions on chromosome 15, are the primary cause of PWS.
