Summary
This study followed 215 infants with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and a control group to track how hormones that control appetite and feeding change during the first four years of life. The goal was to understand why babies with PWS start with feeding difficulties and later develop constant hunger and obesity. No treatment was tested; the study only measured hormone levels and stored blood samples for future research.
